• The Golden Book Of Chemistry Experiment: Back in the late 60’s this book, written for Children, was pulled from all public libraries and store shelves by the government. It was said that the experiments and information contained herein were too dangerous for the general public. A big fuss was made of a 1995 incident near Detroit in which child chemist, David Hahn, attempted to build a nuclear breeder reactor in his backyard shed. A book by Ken Silverstein called ‘The Radioactive Boyscout’ tells the whole story, but you can get a summary on Wikipedia. This book is thoroughly interesting and is full of ideas and inspiration, it is the bible for any young chemist-in-training. Used copies on Amazon are rare and are currently priced between $237 and $690 for very used copies. However, because it was published in 1960, before the US copyright laws were rewritten, and because its original copyright was never renewed, it’s legal for me to share with you online.
• Thermodynamics of Pharmaceutical Systems. “…the book for those who are just entering the world of thermodynamics as well as for those…without active participation…this book should be the one to read first before any other books…graduate students…and those scientists in pharmaceutical industry will find the book…invaluable in their research…” (Pharmaceutical Research, Vol. 20, No. 9, September 2003)
