Sommario/riassunto |
|
100 Chemical Myths deals with popular yet largely untrue misconceptions and misunderstandings related to chemistry. It contains lucid and concise explanations cut through fallacies and urban legends that are universally relevant to a global audience. A wide range |

of chemical myths are explored in these areas; food, medicines, catastrophes, chemicals, and environmental problems. Connections to popular culture, literature, movies, and cultural history hold the reader’s interest whilst key concepts are beautifully annotated with illustrations to facilitate the understanding of unfamiliar material. Chemical Myths Demystified is pitched to individuals without a formal chemistry background to fledgling undergraduate chemists to seasoned researchers and beyond. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Son histoire l'a prouvé, le roman tient à deux mondes divergents, qu'il met en lutte autant qu'il les rapproche : celui de la réalité et celui des fictions imaginées par ses personnages. Mais lorsque les rêves des personnages tendent à se confondre avec la réalité, le roman n'atteint- |

|
|
il pas les limites de son action ? De cette frontière, témoignent tout particulièrement les œuvres romanesques du XIXe siècle. De Balzac à Zola, de Flaubert à Proust, le personnage réaliste rêve des fictions toujours plus ténues qui lui font perdre ses contours et le rapprochent des figures de plus en plus abstraites exposées par la peinture de la même époque. Parvenu à ce point critique, le roman doit trouver les moyens de se poursuivre : passage fascinant, analysé ici par Isabelle Daunais à la lumière de ce qu'elle appelle une histoire interne du roman. À travers le roman réaliste, c'est ainsi l'« œuvre » générale du roman qu'elle éclaire sous un angle nouveau. |
