A Life of Magic Chemistry

A Life of Magic Chemistry
A Life of Magic Chemistry

In his autobiography Nobel Prize winner George Olah tells us about fascinating research into extremely strong superacids and how it yielded the common term "magic acids." Olah guides us through his long and remarkable journey, from Budapest to Cleveland to Los Angeles, with a stopover in Stockholm.
This book chronicles the distinguished career of a chemist whose work in a broad range of chemistry areas, and most notably that in methane chemistry, led to technologies that impact the processing and utility of alternative fuels. It is based on Olah's work on extremely strong superacids and inspires readers with details on his successful recent research on methanol, intended to help provide a solution to "the oil problem".
