Erwin Reisner, Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge:
“This book takes the reader on a fascinating journey of a simple and yet crucial molecule that is essential for life on Earth and our future.”

Harry B. Gray, Arnold O. Beckman Professor of Chemistry, and Founding Director, Beckman Institute, California Institute of Technology:
“Sunlight and water have converted carbon dioxide to energy-rich molecules for billions of years. The oil, gas, and coal we have been using for transportation and materials have come from this chemistry. The bad news is that combustion of these fossil fuels continues to harm life on our planet. What to do? The Story of CO2, beautifully crafted by Geoffrey A. Ozin and Mireille F. Ghoussoub, has instructions for us. It is a great read, chock-full of history, facts, and most importantly, ideas about what we should be doing. Highly recommended!”

John Polanyi, University of Toronto, Winner of the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry:
“This book could mark a turning point – the beginning of a paradigm shift.”
