Giant Molecules

Giant Molecules (1970) by René Dubos, Henry Margenau & C.P. Snow – Time Life International
Sold by Crappy Old Books – proudly unread since Nixon was in office.

Published as part of the Time Life Science Library series, Giant Molecules is a gloriously ambitious crash course in polymers, proteins, plastics, and the building blocks of modern life, brought to you by an unlikely scientific supergroup. René Dubos brings the biology, Henry Margenau handles the physics, and C.P. Snow shows up with literary flair and Cold War gravitas. Together, they take you on a glossy, mid-century tour of the molecules that quietly run the world.

Our copy is vintage in the truest sense: possibly warped, definitely scuffed, and still emitting faint whiffs of 1970s optimism and cigarette smoke. Lavishly illustrated, enthusiastically outdated, and irresistibly nerdy.

Neat near new condition.
