Rudolph gave an understandable introduction to chemistry in his book "Knaur's Book of Modern Chemistry". In the last pages of his book, he also very emphatically addresses very complicated problems in science, which are highly explosive in the present.

Rudolph also knew how to bring sociopolitical discussions from chemistry to the public through television series.
