I bought 6 books at the book fair. I wish i could have gotten more, but i had to demonstrate some self control. haha. we got a Ninjago book, an angry birds star wars book, a cute book called Otis and one called Ten Little Caterpillars, but the two that I am most excited about are Exclamation Mark and The Elements.
PLUS! its a beautifully rainy spring day, so its perfect for reading!!
This book by Theodore Gray is super good. It is one of the books that sparked my interest in chemistry to begin with.
This is one of my favorite books. I have a bookshelf hard cover copy, and a carry around soft cover copy. Nobody escapes looking at it when I'm out and about.
Covertly scope out their coffee table to make sure they don't have a copy of Theodore Gray's The Elements. If they don't, get him a copy, it's an entertaining yet beautiful and informative book.
If you want to be safer, get a copy of Gray's Molecules or Reactions because it's much less likely they'll have a copy and I presume they're nearly as good.
In 900 years of time and space, I’ve never met anyone who wasn’t important
Here is a thing... about elements!. Elements hang out in space! xD
I once went stargazing with my now-fiance. There was a meteor shower and it was soooooo beautiful! I'd never seen that. I had a great time - and it paid off for both of us! I'm so glad i went :)
Reminds me of a book I received several years ago, The Elements, by Theodore Gray. Amazing pictures and some fascinating descriptions.
Surprisingly cheap on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Elements-Visual-Exploration-Universe/dp/1579128955
> Books with awesome pictures on the front and terrible stories.
In fairness to Scholastic, we picked this up at the last book fair:

and it is AMAZING. Gorgeous pictures and lots of scientific data and interesting facts, written in a conversational tone. We ended up buying the author's followup book, Molecules, which is frankly a good supplement to a lot of college chemistry textbooks.
