Review # 1 was written on 2021-02-21 00:00:00 Pam Green Like hydrogen, this book is both simplistic and complex simultaneously. With an average understanding of physics and chemistry, it can be read with about 70% comprehension (or so I estimate). It gives a great history and explanation of the importance of hydrogen, and in-so-doing, elaborates on some of the finer points in quantum science. That said, even the most simplistic experiments are complex without the proper understanding. For example, in one chapter going over forces between neutrons and protons in deuterium, I understood each part of the experiment but was unable to fully link together the procedure in my mind. Another experiment, this one involving the circular vs. elliptical orbit of an electron, I lacked the mathematical understanding of how this changed the quantum numbers. But the complexity did not make the book impossible to read. Indeed, despite not understanding all of it, I still found myself to gain a bit more grasp on the subjects than before I had read it without losing interest. The book really does a good job at looking at some of the major points of hydrogen and explaining them. Personally, I think a course based on this book could really do young scientists such as myself some good.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-10-18 00:00:00 Bernd Loeffler My curiosity of the role that hydrogen play it in our human physiology got me reading about the heroin of the most dramatic discoveries of the universe, from the exact number of the hydrogen since the big bang, to the atmic models, to the discovery of the electron, thr positron and much more. This book consider a great deal of the historical background overviewed chapter hy chaprt, about the evloation and the discoveries which are related to the hydrogen. Great masure of the book was simplifying, without great deals of technical details about further complecated stuff related to the quanm physics, and number of mathematical equations.
