All living things are made up of molecules containing carbon (C). It is organic matter that is intimately linked to mineral (or inorganic) matter thanks to photosynthesis. In this space human beings seek to understand the miracle of life. To do so, one begins by taking an interest in carbon and its compounds. One penetrates into the intimacy of the molecules and their behavior by studying the molecular sciences.
A textbook by Pierre Vogel, ‘Sustainable Development: The Roles of Carbon and Bio-Carbon: An Introduction to Molecular Sciences’ introduces the most important carbon-containing compounds of everyday life (fuels, plastics and other materials, popular medicines) and the following are described: their structures, how they are made, how they are transformed and the role played by energy in these processes. The molecules of living systems (amino acids, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, lipids) are also presented.
