What it is:
A compilation of wacky and daredevil science experiments from "Popular Science" columnist, Theo Gray.
Why we love it:
In the spirit of Discovery Channel's "MythBusters" , "Mad Science" is the science geek's adventure book. Gray's encyclopedic knowledge and enthusiasm makes learning about chemistry fun. There are over 52 extreme experiments, each accompanied by stunning full-color photographs that provide a front-row seat to split-second chemical reactions and glorious subatomic activity. Not only are the experiments visually arresting, each one explains a fascinating principle of elemental science in a unique and irresistibly compelling way.
