"Joe Schwarcz has mastered the art of science education as an attention-holding and rewarding experience. In this book he provides a great read, a book you will not want to put down. You will learn a great deal about the world around us while being compelled to read on--it's an educator's dream!" --Kelvin G. Ogilvie, President, Acadia University
"It is hard to believe that anybody could be drawn to such a dull and smelly subject as chemistry--until, that is, one picks up Joe Schwarcz's book and is reminded that with every breath and feeling one is experiencing chemistry. Falling in love, we all know, is a matter of the right chemistry. Schwarcz gets his chemistry right, and hooks his readers." --John C. Polanyi, Nobel Laureate
"Joe Schwarcz's magic is in convincing us that there is verve and value in real chemistry." --Roald Hoffman, Nobel Laureate
"Dr. Schwarcz has written a book that is enormously enjoyable--it commands and holds your attention. It explains science and scientific phenomena in a simple and accurate way while stimulating logical thinking. It will lead to a scientifically literate reader who will not be so easily misled by those who wish to paint science and technology as being a danger to humankind." --Michael Smith, Nobel Laureate
