The Tao of Chemistry and Life: A Scientific Journey

Buy

As most writers will testify, writing a book entails a fair amount of hard work. It follows that one needs a reason for undertaking the task in the first place. The easiest motivation to understand for writing a book, and perhaps the most common one, is the desire for monetary reward. I do not know what inspired J. K. Rowling to write her amazingly successful series of books about Harry Potter and his friends at Hogwarts but if monetary reward was it, she has succeeded beyond the wildest dreams of most of us. My stated reason for reading about Harry Potter is the need to keep up with our grandchildren but the basic fact is that I really enjoyed the stories.

Aside from the pull of economic gravity, I think that a lot of people write books for other reasons. That is just as well since most books do not make their authors anywhere near enough money to compensate for the effort involved, let alone to live on. Some writers have insights that they want to share; others have political ends to satisfy; some write to satisfy their desire to make the world better (and some to make it worse); and a few would really like to see a book in print with their name on the cover.
