Full Text...chemistry as an undergraduate in Vienna, and chemistry then was something that had to be memorized. Well I didn't regard chemistry as anything that could be understood. Now at Christmas 1939 a girlfriend gave me a book token, and with that I bought Linus Pauling's Nature of the Chemical Bond and it was a revelation to me, as if for the first time I realized that chemistry could be understood in terms of structure. So this book made a tremendous impact on me and I'm sure on generations of students, and it really revolutionized the teaching of chemistry.
