The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments

Reviews From AMAZON.COM

Chemistry at its best.

Hard to find, (and very costly if you do) is the original 1960 edition of this book. It seems to have gained infamy since the 1995 incident near Detroit of child chemist, David Hahn. With the release of a full scale book this month by author Ken Silverstein called 'The Radioactive Boyscout', which details this nuclear incident, the popularity of this early chemistry 'how to do it' book will only grow. The early edition is known for its 50's style simplicity where chemical wastes and pollution were never a concern to Americans, certainly not in the age of 'better living through chemistry'!!! Thoroughly interesting and full of ideas and inspiration, it is the bible for any young chemist-in-training. You will enjoy.

One of the best books of its type !

I found this book when I was in high school and loved it. After I started college and was working in the chemistry lab this book became my trusted friend. As a physical science teacher, I use the simple experiments every year. I know that I can easily get the materials and that the kids will see results. I often recommend this book to other teachers.
