Were you one of those kids who jumped for joy when Santa brought you a chemistry set for Christmas?
If so you’ll want to snag a copy of the new O’Reilly book Illustrated Guide to Home Chemistry Experiments ($29.99).
According to the book’s press release, “The decline of chemistry sets has had nothing to do with lack of interest, explains author Robert Bruce Thompson. Kids are as enthusiastic as ever, but manufacturers and retailers have become more concerned about liability and lawsuitsand schools are now devoting little time and few resources to science. This guide is meant to celebrate the magic of chemistrywhile taking responsible precautions to minimize or eliminate potential risks.”
Just don’t hurt yourself.
