Looking for a headache cure? Try willow bark. Wondering how that ice cream got its color? Could be from bug juice. Giving us the lowdown on these and other chemical phenomena, The Genie in the Bottle reveals the fun and fascinating secrets collected by popular science writer Dr. Joe Schwarcz.Blending quirky chemistry with engaging tales from the history of science, Schwarcz offers a different twist on licorice and straight talk on travel to the dark side of the sun, along with the skinny on chocolate research, ginkgo biloba, and blueberries. Find out how spies used secret inks and how acetone changed the course of history. Dr. Joe even solves the mystery of exploding shrimp and, of course, delves into the secret of the genie in the bottle.Infused with Schwarczs humor and his fondness for the wonders of magic and science, The Genie in the Bottle celebrates some of the the most amazing corners of our universeand our cupboards.

±1±: Best Buy I'm beginning to experiment in chemistry class taught by community college chemistry 110. My background, as seen in human biology and neuroscience major, even though I have chemistry, I have dislocated my chemistry class I took like 10. One thing I noticed, the three-hour class in teaching chemistry in particular, tend to start going about half way between the blind student mode. It is also fed through a given exit textbooks very much scientific information. I wasTo always make things more interesting ... For example, using the history of science, we go into production of atomic bombs, heavy water, I was about to Norway during World War II mission (Nazi hydrogen neutrons in a nuclear bomb said to be the only site) to use to make their own bombs. At least for men, that this benefit ... for girls, now associated with them a little, many of them difficult to manage the information you need to find their future work willAre nursing.

This book to me, deserve to enjoy reading and good writing is recommended that five and did not have exactly what I was looking for it. I had to worry about accommodation in this chart of the chemical periodic chart through an interesting story in this book ... I think it was. I was there, acetone, available on some stories, especially the doctor I always the guinea pig, or really stupid as saying, using their own stories usingstunts done in the name of science just for a laugh. Schwarcz obviously has made a living out of collecting this stuff...I'm pretty sure I saw him either on PBS or Discovery channel once with some physicists who were doing things along the same line.

Science doesn't need to be mind-numbingly boring, yet so many teachers make it that way, even in college. In college so much emphasis is placed on the math, that the cool part of chemistry gets lost in the student's mind as they stumble Only trying to pass the test. This situation occurs, do you know this stuff forgotten as soon as they left the room and not the students learned. Education officials and the NSF, NIH is doing bad science ... or even why American children, textbooks, but also often badly written - they often have the wrong information that, properly calibrated to the wrong answers are wrong and their problems. To test the press, we needed to leave'The components of learning', in order to learn, you must specify how the information is correct.

This book is definitely a keeper, I would use it, I want to get the lead I was looking more along the lines I have a few more books ...
