In human chemistry, Human Chemistry (Volume One) and Human Chemistry (Volume Two), is a 2007, two-volume, 824-page, standardized textbook set on the subject of "human-chemistry" the study of the chemical behaviors of human molecules, written by American chemical engineer Libb Thims. [1] The press-release, titled "The World's First-ever Textbook on the Chemistry of Love", came out September 27, 2007. [2]

Notes
The textbook was peer-reviewed (although the reviewers were chosen by Thims, the author) by those including Russian physical chemist Georgi Gladyshev, author of the 1997 Thermodynamic Theory of Evolution, Lebanese-born Danish theoretical chemist and physicist John Avery, author of the 2003 book Information Theory and Evolution, Chinese-born, Canadian mathematician and thermodynamic economist Jing Chen, author of the 2005 book The Physical Foundation of Economics - an Analytical Thermodynamic Theory, and Italian thermodynamicist Gian-Paolo Beretta, author of the 2005 textbook Thermodynamics: Foundations and Applications, among others.

Irish physicist Philip Moriarty seems it important to mention that the textbook was a self-published work, printed at LuLu.com, a self-publishing/vanity-publishing internet business. Self-publishing is common to other great scientists with novel and original theories, such as French physicist Sadi Carnot, who self-published his 1824 Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire, at his own expense, a book that would go on to initiate the science of thermodynamics.

Origins
The book was built on the shoulders of German polymath Johann von Goethe's 1809 Elective Affinities and American engineer William Fairburn's 1914 Human Chemistry. [3]

The origin of Thims' Human Chemistry began to seed in the early 1990s, when Thims began to wonder how one would use the "spontaneity criterion" of chemical thermodynamics to predict the basic human reproduction reaction:

A + B → C

in which A and B are the reactants (the dating pair) and C is the product (a 15-year old child).
