From the rear cover
Did you know that many components of foods come from quite unexpected sources, for instance, Gummi Bears(R) are actually made from cows, Junior Mints(R) are shiny because they are coated with bug secretions, and many packaged luncheon meats have viruses added to them?
Strange Chemistry opens the audience's eyes to the extra-ordinary scientific secrets hiding in the everyday objects around them. The book covers broad subjects that touch on everyday life, including the chemistry of poisons, illicit drugs, explosives, foods, common household products, and radiation.
Readers will find the information not only intriguing, but also absorbing and edgy. Unlike other science interest books, Strange Chemistry focuses on the darker, wilder side of chemistry, which, unfortunately, most authors and chemistry teachers tend to avoid.
Helping readers increase chemistry knowledge in a fun and entertaining way, the book is perfect as a supplementary textbook or gift to curious professionals and novices.
