A propos du livre

Revue de presse

The book has made the activities easy to conduct using step-by-step illustrations with photographs. The sections on presentation tips and safety guidelines are very well thought of and are very important for successful and responsible executions. This book will be a handy and helpful resource not just for educators and science show performers, but also for students and adults who like to try hands-on science activities. It also makes a very meaningful birthday gift to families with children either for the kids or the parents! --Lim Tit Meng Asst. Chief Executive (Education Programmes) Science Centre Singapore Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, National University of Singapore

This delightful little book is a how to for the budding chemical magician. It is written more for the novice magician than the novice chemist since some of the tricks require some knowledge of chemistry, but the magic is all delineated ... The authors capture the essence of magic, be it chemical, mathematical, or common slight of hand: surprise! They give advice throughout for achieving maximal effect: don't tip off the audience about what to expect. Many of these clever tricks can be done right at home with materials available at the local drug store. I highly recommend this book as a great way to (a) dazzle your friends and (b) excite students about the magical world of chemistry. --Harold B Reiter Problems Editor, Pi Mu Epsilon Journal Professor, University of North Carolina at Charlotte

This fun-filled, modestly priced book provides an effective approach for both performer and audience to teach/learn basic scientific concepts as well as to reinforce the notion that science is not boring ... It should interest chemistry students and educators as well as persons in outreach programs of institutions and schools, who are urged by the authors to Go forth and perform . --George B Kauffman California State University, Fresno
