Before there were worlds, there was chemistry.

The universe began with almost nothing: hydrogen, helium, and a trace of lithium. No planets. No oceans. No life. Just a small set of elements and a great deal of heat.

This book follows the chemical history of the cosmos, from the first atomic nuclei to the molecules drifting through interstellar clouds, from the furnaces inside stars to comet ice, meteorites, planetary atmospheres, and stranger worlds beyond the Solar System. It is a story about how matter changes under pressure, in darkness, in cold, and in fire.

This is a book for readers who want the ideas without the dense equations. This is NOT a textbook. This is not meant to teach you mathematics behind the subject. Just the chemistry that made the world, and everything before it.
