Book Synopsis The Genie in the Bottle by : Joe Schwarcz
Book excerpt: Sixty-four short essays tell anecdotes about the applications of chemistry to everyday life and recount important episodes from the history of science. Humor and disaster stand side by side, as Schwarcz (chemistry, McGill University) comments on drain cleaners, candies, stinky feet, spoon-bending, and the use of Thalidomide to treat morning sickness in pregnant women. The chemistry of health and food is emphasized. c. Book News Inc.
