I love the 30 second books! So much info, the illustrations help a lot and I just feel smarter after reading. Recommended for people of all ages.

Sadly, I was unable to download this book in time before it was archived and this I was not able to either read or review it. My apologies.

I've always adored science, but I must admit, I always struggled with certain parts of Chemistry. Some parts entered my mind and I could relay theories and facts with ease. Other parts, for some reason, I just couldn't grasp.

So a book like this is perfect. The information and layout is clear and easy to read and understand. Each section is a different colour, which for me, works really well. It helps to separate each section and would make it much easier for me to remember which section is about which topic, so rereading or referencing the book would be a lot easier.

The page has the information which you can read in 30-seconds, a 3-second paragraph that sums up the information, as well as a list of related topics and page numbers. Another great addition is the 3-second biography that gives you information on a person related to the topic you're reading about.

Each section is also accompanied by a glossary at the start, so all of the terminology is clearly listed and explained if you are unsure of what a word means.

After each page, there is an image that relates to what you have just read, which I think is a great addition to the book.

This is great book and very well-written and layout is easy to read and clear

Chemistry was my favourite class in high school and although I was never great at it, I still remember it fondly. Thus I love to keep my knowledge in chemistry in check both revising stuff I already know and learning even more. 30-Second Chemistry gave me both.
The book is very nicely structured and the explanations are easy enough that readers of all ages can understand the basics of all the information included. It's really refreshing to see a good science book written for broader audience - I hope this opens more people to the wonders of STEM disciplines.
All in all, I loved and greatly recommend this book.
