Astounding.
I went into this app with high expectations after the remarkable quality of "The Elements" and "The Planets." I was not disappointed.
If anything, my expectations were far too low. The notion of an entire digital coffee table-style book about molecules seems a little odd, to say the least, but it turns out that its incredibly fun to manipulate molecules in scientifically-accurate 3D models.
To look at the models of medications I take to understand better how they differ from precursor medicines, or to read about why two similar molecules have wildly different characteristics, is fascinating. And this book presents a lot of basic and important scientific knowledge in an engaging and surprisingly conversational tone.
This is exactly the sort of thing that makes technology in general and the iPad in particular a must for schools and education.
Magnificent.
