THE GOLDEN BOOK OF Chemistry Experiments How to Set Up a Home Laboratory

THE GOLDEN BOOK OF Chemistry Experiments. How to Set Up a Home Laboratory. Over 200 Simple Experiments  This is a digital product. The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, written by Robert Brent and illustrated by Harry Lazarus, is a children's book published in the 1960s that was intended to explain to kids how they could set up a home chemistry lab and conduct simple experiments. Supposedly the US government had the book removed from libraries and banned for sale on the grounds that the projects were too dangerous for its intended audience. I would have to agree that you probably don't want your kids making and igniting hydrogen in the garage, but for the aspiring chemist who can adhere to the safety precautions, this remains one of the best do-it-yourself chemistry books around.
