Summary: This inspired book by some of the most influential scientists of our time--including six Nobel laureates--chronicles our emerging understanding of the chemical bond through the last nine decades and into the future. From Pauling's early work on the structure of the chemical bond using x-ray and electron diffraction to Zewail's work on the dynamics of the chemical bond using femtosecond lasers, from Crick's molecular biology to Rich's molecular recognition, this book explores a rich tradition of scientific heritage and accomplishment. The perspectives given by Pauling, Herschbach, Zewail, and
