2017: CHEMICAL TURNAROUND
The intelligent use of natural resources. Can plants, algae and microorganisms replace crude oil?
The book is a condensed result of twelve detailed dialogues between the chemist Dr. Hermann Fischer and the lawyer Dr. Horst Appelhagen in the winter of 2015/16 on the chemistry of the future.
Precisely because the discussion partners argue from very different fields of experience and perspectives, the necessity of a completely different kind of chemistry, its scientific and social prerequisites and its consequences for our everyday lives become particularly vivid.

2012: "STOFF-WECHSEL"
Based on the “concrete chemistry” of our metabolism, Hermann Fischer makes it possible to experience the magic of the materials and substances that shape our environment.
He analyzes why classical chemistry needs to be replaced and describes the opportunities of solar chemistry using a wealth of memorable examples.
