Description: "Young academic chemists may think themselves too busy to read books of this series, which is a pity: they might learn how to take a detached view of their own work, and ask the question, am I working on truly significant problems in the small time life has allotted to me?"--The Chemical Intelligencer"Dewar's 'A semiempirical life' contains a different philosophy about chemistry: 'Chemistry is something one should enjoy, it is or should be fun. I have always found it so.' However, his frustrating attempts to acquire a NMR spectrometer while at Queen Mary College, London University reads like an exception to this 'fun'. On the other hand, Dewar's doodles of plants and imaginary animals, made during 'a particularly awful meeting of some London University committee' and reproduced in his autobiography, are ample proof that fun never left him."--Interdisciplinary Science Reviews
