Absolutely brilliant- one of the few popular science books that I have enjoyed in such a scale. Excellent work, captivating examples and great learning. Highly recommended!

Loved it. The author explained that he tried to keep the scientific terms to a minimum . . . and he did. Includes pictures, and he wrote about mundane topics that would interest anyone.

I started to lose interest when I began to find errors:

~~ Error: ~~
Page 12: he says battery acid is "hydrochloric acid,"
and a little lower (same page) he calls it "sulfuric acid".
First one is wrong.

Page 13: he spells jewellery instead of jewelry.

okay so what is this book really about? well the title really actually gives the reader everything already becasue what cold get more simpler than "chemcials as friends and foes"? seriously,the book was kind of similar to "the hundred year lie" writeen by Randall Fitzgerald, however i think this book goes into detail just a little more. even more than the stuff in the "hundred year lie", the poison paradox is like all the foods that people eat and the itty bitty stuff people never knew about them before stuff. its pretty amazing. some things i did know before, but like theres a greater thing that is added to the book that makes it more like interesting and kind of more dificult to read.

Hmmm. Hmmmm. Paracelsuksen periaate "annos tekee myrkyn" tuli tutuksi viimeistään 10. kerralla kun se mainitaan. Toisin sanoen seuraavat 30 kertaa olisi varmaankin voinut jättää poiskin.

Tämä oli kuuntelemistani äänikirjoista kaikin puolin surkein kuunneltava. Jotkut kirjat eivät vain sovellu äänikirjoiksi. Ei ole kovin mielekästä kun joka sivulla on jotain lisätietolaatikoita ja graafeja ja muuta sälää. Eli ehkä kirja ei ihan niin tylsä ja huono ollut kuin miltä vaikutti. Mutta kun vaikutti.
