CHEMISTRY

Linus Pauling was the greatest proponent of chemistry in all history. If people would read Pauling's books they might understand chemistry better. Chemistry is the basis for spectroscopy that is used by the planet hunters searching for Earth-like planets. Chemistry is most of the basis for crystallography used by people making and packaging new and old medicines and materials. Chemistry is the basis for the Haber process used to tremendous effect in agriculture. Thermodynamics is largely a part of chemistry and is the basis for mineralogy, and low temperature phenomena. Chemistry is synthesis and isolation and separation of medicines. Chemistry is analysis like mass spectroscopy used to great effect in materials and molecular science. Pauling explained everything perfectly well in simple language...Chemistry was the basis for the nuclear test ban treaty in 1962.
