我自己开了一家专注于科幻的小出版社，同时也想开始出一些科普读物。我年轻时非常喜欢读艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《碳的世界》（The World of Carbon）——这是一本极好的有机化学读物。它已经绝版好几十年了，但距离进入公有领域还得等上一阵子（大概是1960年左右出版的）。……
I run a small press focused on science fiction, and I'd like to start publishing some popular science texts as well. I really loved reading "The World of Carbon" by Isaac Asimov when I was younger -- it's a fantastic book on organic chemistry. It's been out of print for many decades, but it will be a while until it's in the public domain (published around 1960).…
My favorite is Isaac Asimov: "Published in 9 of the 10 Dewey Decimal System categories" His scientific writings for lay people are amazing(World of Carbon comes to mind). He could string everything together so well.
…list! I don't think I've ever seen them all in one place before. I cannot stress enough what an incredible force for good Asimov had (and hopefully continues to have) on society. I remember reading "the World of Carbon" and not being able to put it down -- a non-fiction organic chemistry book! The high quality and sheer volume of work he output are each impressive on their own, but combined are astounding.
When I was in HS, I found Asimov’s “World of Carbon” on a book shelf in my second trimester Chemistry class, read it, and then proceeded to ace Organic Chemistry when it was presented during third trimester.
艾萨克·阿西莫夫的《碳的世界》是我高一（9年级）时对科学着迷的起点。读完之后，化学概念整体上就变得清晰好懂多了。他的非虚构写作简直清晰得不可思议……

我最喜欢的作者是艾萨克·阿西莫夫：“在杜威十进制图书分类法的10个大类中，他在其中9类都出版过作品”。他给外行写的科普作品简直神了（比如《碳的世界》）。他能把所有知识串联得那么丝滑。

……书单！我以前好像从没在一个地方把它们全见过。我怎么强调阿西莫夫对社会产生的（而且希望仍在持续的）巨大正面影响都不为过。我还记得当年读《碳的世界》时爱不释手的样子——那可是一本非虚构的有机化学书啊！他作品的高质量和庞大产出无论看哪一点都令人叹服，而两者结合起来更是惊为天人。

我上高中的时候，在第二学期的化学课书架上偶然发现了阿西莫夫的《碳的世界》，读完之后，紧接着第三学期学有机化学时直接轻松拿了A。
