Worthwhile, but check public libraries

Glad i bought it - experiments are interesting. The book is very durable. However, after borrowing from all the libraries around here every book I could find on the topic - they are all pretty much the same stuff. My little village library doesn't have anything like this, but ILL'd for me. I will be donating this one to them when I am done.

Madness - brilliance - and a shudder

This book is even more insane than the first in the series. As promised, it delivers fabulous science with wild doable experiements that you really shouldn't do. That being said, when I was teaching science I wouldn't have dared to have it in the classroom for fear of students getting terrible ideas - and trying them. On the other had - these experiments are so tempting. A guaranteed "I can't believe they did this!" page-turner, and every parent/science teachers nightmare.

It looks great! I can hardly wait for summer and a chance to really read the book

It will a great addition and resource for next year when I work with middle school students in science fair projects, and other things.

Great book

Son saw this in Science Museum and wanted it, but got it on Amazon much cheaper. Excellent book for a science mad 13 year old

Noch etwas besser als der 1. Teil!

Mad Science sind die gesammelten Kolumnen von Theodore Gray, die er für das Popular Science Magazin schrieb. Dort führt er spektakuläre und/oder interessante Experimente aus der Chemie vor, meistens mit praktischem Hintergrund. Das abgedeckte Spektrum ist groß: Vom Fälschen von Gold über LEDs aus Kristallen bis hin zu pyrotechnischen Experimenten oder dem Herstellen von Schwarzpulber oder einer thermischen Lanze aus Speck (!). Neben einem informativen Text gibt es jede Menge spektakulärer Fotos, die wirklich gelungen sind. Gray und seinem Fotographen ist es gelungen, immer den richtigen Moment für die Aufnahme zu finden. Schon daher ist das Buch sein Geld wert. Gegenüber der (online verfügbaren) Kolumne werden die Artikel durch weitere Fotos und einer detallierteren Beschreibung seines Vorgehens ergänzt(was mich als Chemielehrer natürlich besonders reizt).Der zweite Teil ist meiner Meinung nach sogar noch besser als der erste: Es sind diesmal praktisch keine Experimente mehr drin, die wirklich langweilig sind (so wie das "Magnetit am Strand sammeln" im ertsen Band). Im Gegenzug sind duch genaueren Beschreibungen mehr Experimente für den Fachmann nachmachbar. Und bei den Fotos hat er auch noch eine Schippe drauflegen können. Der einzige Wehrmutstropfen: Das Lektorat hätte besser sein können. Ich bemerke solche Sachen normalerweise gar nicht, aber diesmal sind mir gleich mehrere Grammatikfehler aufgefallen und mindestens ein fachlicher Verschreiber. Das ist ärgerlich, aber zu verkraften.Absolute Empfehlung!

Ein wirklich tolles Buch

An dieses Buch werde ich viel Spass erleben, auch wenn die Experimente wirklich zu gefährlich sind um sie selber nach zu machen!
