I guess you would need to ask yourself how many people will NOT read this because it mentions chemistry. If you're worried about the effect, you might actually play it up in the blurb, by saying something like "Did you count the minutes until the bell rang and you could get out of your high school chemistry class? It's not that chemistry is boring, it's just that they weren't teaching you what makes water wet, how we know old the Earth is, or what goes into the fertilizers that make our crops grow...." I think there is a pretty big market for popular science books, so don't worry too much about it. Sounds interesting.<br><b>References : </b><br> First, I’d say that since your book is about chemistry, you shouldn’t worry too much about mentioning that.
