e enterprising few that cut corners and dodge laws just to make another buck. Even those critics that stand out and preach against mining and deforestation actively use the products they so hate. Wood is used to make paper, desks, tables, and countless other things. If those critics were suddenly removed of their possessions that contained the materials they are preaching against my bet would be that their opinion would change. I was also interested by the history of Chemistry. Chemistry sounds like a very modern thing. I thought that the most recent it was truly imployed was just in the past five or six hundred years but to find out that from the beginning of our time man has been using one form of chemistry or another is quite remarkable. The time it took to discover these things we now use is amazing. Any pursuit that is so strong that it can can thousands of years has to be a very powerful goal. Although that pursuit could be accurately described as not only the pursuit of improving the standards of lives but the pursuit of happiness.With all that said I am actually glad that I read this book. Where as usually I am just upset at my professor for assigning the thing, I actually enjoyed reading this book. Because what we are made up is all we are, not having an understanding of that would be completely ignorant. Who goes into battle with out extensive knowledge about not only his enemy but also the battlegrounds it is going to happen in. And because of that, as long as we die of natural causes, our enemy is ourselves and the battleground is the world we live in. Chemistry Kind of makes all that make sense and I am glad that I now have a much better understanding of that.Your Chemical WorldA Book Report by Ian loveGary VanGenderenCem-057, Section 02April 5, 2000...
