    Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal.

    Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, accompany each discussion. Smaller images capture molecules in their various states and include stop-motion-photography of fascinating natural and unnatural phenomena.

    As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as weve never seen them before. Its the perfect book for his loyal fans whove been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.

    E verything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world.

    F o r m s o F C a n n a b i s

    In arid climates, such as Afghanistan or the Beqaa Valley of Lebanon,

    harvested cannabis has for centuries been dried and sieved to collect its

    cannabinoid-rich gland heads. This collected resin powder is pressed into

    hashish. In India, fields of unpollinated female cannabis flowers are cultivated

    to produce ganja, a potent marijuana preparation of these dried flowers.

    In the 1960s, hippies returning to California from India brought with them

    this Indian technique for producing seedless cannabis, dubbing it sinsemilla

    (see pages 2223).

    In Afghanistan in the early 1970s, the

    Brotherhood of Eternal Love, a group of

    smugglers comprised of surfers originally

    from Huntington Beach, California, employed

    the extraction technologies developed back

    in California to make ultra-concentrated oil

    from Afghan hashish. Hash oil, being more

    concentrated, was easier to smuggle than

    conventional hashish. Forty years later, this

    innovation would spark the dabbing craze

    inhaling vaporized cannabis oilamong

    West Coast medical cannabis patients.

    FlowersMany cannabis varieties are harvested outdoors

    in California in September and October, and

    some tropical varieties do not finish flowering

    until the winter solstice. Flowers are harvested

    and carefully dried and manicured to remove

    extraneous leaf. However, the definition of

    extraneous is controversial, since some patients

    prefer all leaf to be removed, while others insist

    that keeping the leaves intact helps to protect

    delicate trichomes. The correct approach

    typically depends on whether the cost of keeping

    those leaves is an issue. The money-is-no-object

    approach keeps the smaller leaves to protect the

    flowers. Keeping these leaves intact reduces the

    likelihood of rupturing the trichomes on the dried

    cannabis flowers, which hastens spoilage.

    outdoor Cultivation Cannabis loves sunshine. The cannabis plant flourishes outdoors

    from Alaska to Brazil, from Vietnam to Chinese

    Turkestan, to Humboldt County in California.

    A large number of indigenous cannabis varieties,

    called landrace varieties, have acclimated

    outdoors to different locales around the globe.

    These landraces exhibit a much wider range

    of characteristics than the common medicinal

    varieties currently cultivated in the United

    States. Some tropical outdoor landraces of

    cannabis, such as Thai or Colombian varieties,

    are not ready for harvest until weeks after the

    All medical cannabis plants in the United States, Europe, and Israel are seedless females. Unfertilized, seedless flowers of the female cannabis plant produce far more medicinal resin than fertilized females. Female flowers produced with this technique are called sinsemilla, or ganja in South Asia where the approach was developed. The technique of preventing female pollination, which was developed in India in the early nineteenth century, consists of culling any male plants before they release pollen. This approach was brought to the United States in the late 1960s and became more widespread in Western countries by the late 1970s. Today, this technique of producing seedless cannabis is widely used, from the Manali slopes of northern India to GW Pharmaceuticals secure, high-tech greenhouse located in a military research facility in the United Kingdom.

    Indoor-cultivated broad-leafleted varieties rarely reach heights over 5ft (1.5m)

    Greenhouse-cultivated broad- and narrow-leafleted varieties often reach heights of 10ft (up to 3m)

    Outdoor narrow-leafleted varieties can reach 20 ft (6m)

    GREEK-STYLE YOGURTSuper-creamy Greek yogurt is much easier to make than you might think. The secret is in the draining. Once made, the yogurt keeps for a week. Whole milk results in rich, creamy yogurt.| In a large saucepan, heat the milk to 110F (43 C). Its a good idea to use a candy-making or other cooking thermometer to determine the exact temperature. Add the yogurt culture or goats milk yogurt and stir well.

    | Pour the mixture into a large (preferably oven-safe glass) container or into a pressure cooker. Cook the yogurt for 3 hours in the oven or 8 hours in a pressure cooker (see p. 19).

    | Line a fine-mesh sieve with a piece of muslin or similar cloth and set the sieve over a large bowl. Pour the cooked yogurt onto the cloth and let it drain into the bowl. Put the bowl, with the sieve on it, in the fridge for 2 to 4 hours. The yogurt will drain and become thick.

    | When the yogurt is as thick as you like it, transfer it to a sealed container or eat it immediately.

    | The yogurt will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

    | Spread the hazelnuts in a single layer in a shallow metal pan and roast for about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and let the nuts cool for about 5 minutes.

    | When cool enough to handle, rub the hazelnuts between your fingertips to remove the skins. (You could also rub them with the folds of a clean dish towel to remove the skins.) Transfer the nuts to a food processor or blender and pulse for 2 to 3 minutes or until reduced to a fine powder.

    | In a saucepan, heat the chocolate and condensed milk over medium heat until the chocolate melts. Stir occasionally to blend.

    | Pour the hot milk mixture over the ground nuts and add the cocoa powder, oil, vanilla and salt. Pulse several times or until the paste is smooth and evenly colored. Spoon the paste into a sterilized 8-ounce jar, seal and refrigerate. (For more on sterilizing jars, see page 140).

    Civil War in 3DThe Life and Death of the Soldier

    Michael Stephenson

    The everyday experiences of Union and Confederate soldiers are vividly captured in historic 3D images, seen through an accompanying stereoscopic viewer, in this unique book-and-box format.

    T he life of a soldier during the Civil War, whether Union or Confederate, was brutally hard and tremendously bleak in ways that are difficult to fathom. Yet, the war also had its moments of heroism, pride, and humanity. The Civil War in 3D transports us to this defining time in our countrys history and puts us right in the middle of the battlegrounds.

    This unique book-and-box format includes 35 stereoscopic photographs, a sturdy metal stereoscopic viewer through which to see them, and a 176-page illustrated paperback book that tells of the war from the soldiers perspective, including firsthand descriptions in the form of letters and diaries. What they ate, where they slept, how they filled the long hours while waiting for the next battle to start, and other aspects of their gritty existence are presented along with a timeline of the war that puts the experiences described into context.

    The 35 3D photographs, many culled from the Smithsonian archive, include images of soldiers building winter quarters, preparing food in the mess hall, bathing in a river in Virginia, waiting at the depot to be transported to the front lines, building roads, following the wagon trains from battle to battle, and recuperating from wounds in hospitals. Detailed descriptions of the scenes depicted in the photographs are included on the back of each card.

    Smithsonian Institution is the most visited museum complex in the world, with more than 30 million annual visitors.

    Michael Stephenson is an editor, military historian, and the author of numerous books, including The Last Full Measure: How Soldiers Die

    in Battle, Patriot Battles: How the War of Independence Was Fought, National Geographics Battlegrounds: Geography and the History of Warfare, and The Nuclear Dictionary. Stephenson is also the former editor of the Military Book Club. He lives in New York City.

    NOVEMBER 2014Deep SpaceBeyond the Solar System to the End of the Universe and the Beginning of Time

    Govert Schilling

    Govert Schilling explores the mysteries of space that lie beyond our solar system on this mind-bending trip to nebulae, galaxies, black holes, and the edge of the observable universe.

    J oin Govert Schilling on a journey across the universe that will ignite the imagination. The trip begins inside our own solar system with a brief tour of the sun, the planets and their moons, asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. We then accelerate into deep space, traveling from our interstellar neighborhood, through our own galaxy, the Milky Way, to the far reaches of the cosmos.

    With Schilling as our guide, we explore the birth of stars and stellar nurseries, such as the Orion and Carina Nebulae; the death of stars, from red giants to catastrophic supernova explosions; and galaxies and galaxy clusters beyond our own including spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and lenticular galaxies. We learn about supermassive black holes, which astronomers now believe exist at the center of every galaxy including our own, and exoplanets, billions of which are believed to be orbiting stars in the Milky Way and beyond. The book concludes at the edge of the cosmological horizon with a look at dark matter, dark energy, and theories of extraterrestrial life and the Multiverse.

    Including hundreds of photographs and custom illustrations, as well as a star atlas that shows the full celestial sky, Deep Space is the perfect book for astronomy buffs, students, and anyone fascinated with the mystery and beauty of the cosmos.

    Govert Schilling is an internationally acclaimed astronomy journalist and writer. He is a regular contributor to New Scientist, Sky & Telescope, and Sky at Night. In 2007, asteroid 10986 was named Govert in his honor by the International Astronomical Union. He lives in Amersfoort, the Netherlands.
