Brillant!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unbelievable
*by M***K on December 14, 2012*

I found this book at my college library. I read the first page and I immediately knew I needed to read it. This book is absolutely amazing. The amount of research done to create this is beyond my understanding. It gave me a new appreciation for Chemistry I've never had. It's a shame this book only has one review.. It's also a shame this book isn't taught in an intro chemistry class. If not that, then it should be offered in history courses. Great job Prof. Greenberg.
