This book was really begun in 1963 when I attended a creative writing course in college. Having been an avid reader all my life it seemed a great way to see a story from the writer’s perspective. It became a comfortable, relaxing escape. Most of my inspirations came unexpectedly through dreams. Some of the stories took place over several nights. There is really no on going theme in this book. Rather a randomness of thoughts. This book contains, in a sense, an analysis of sadness, love, anger and frustration. As well a child’s view of simplistic events. I wrote these poems and stories because I wanted to. I published them in a book because I can.

The brief explains in simple terms the essentials of polymer chemistry and how polymers came to be discovered by pioneers in this field. It relates the many uses of polymers, including those not widely recognised by the lay person. The chemistry of polymerisation and the influence of chemical structure and additives on properties are described. Ethical issues are considered, especially in the context of huge tonnages of plastics. Finally short paragraphs on more than 30 common polymers are listed chronologically with chemical structures, properties and applications. It will appeal to those with connections to or within the plastics, rubber and textile industries, science students, members of other science disciplines using polymers, as well as people just curious to know about everyday plastics.
