The Annotated Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory: Build Over 200 Pieces of Science Equipment! (Make: Technology on Your Time)

I love how there is comments in the book be the recent author explaining fixes and work arounds for outdated techiques and even some history and saftey Info too GREAT BOOK

I homeschool my 7th grader and we are tackling chemistry this year. This is a great resource to help us fill out our chemistry set without spending a fortune. I love that you don't have to be limited to store-bought stets, but can expand on your own. I initially borrowed this book from our library and loved it so much I purchased it for our home library.

Not a bad book, but the things in it are dated. It's like you are building a science laboratory from the 1950s. Now this isn't necessarily wrong as many things haven't really changes since then in regards to the kinds of experiments you might perform in such a lab, but that detail is not really mentioned in the book description.

This is the same book I remember as a kid in the early 70's. I loved this book as a kid.

Book was well packaged, would buy from them again.

Wow, does this look like fun. I love that they've updated it to provide safety information more relevant for today, but didn't leave stuff out because it might be dangerous. Into each life a little danger must fall. Wear goggles...

~ This is a great book, a must for those interested in science labs.

Got my hopes up with this book thinking it'd be more advanced level diy lab equipment. Great buy if you have small children that enjoy science not a great buy if you're a university chemistry major looking for home lab equipment.

This book is updated, but maintains the spirit of kids' science books before the wussification of America. You can get hurt if you don't follow procedures with care. If you're stupid and careless, you can even kill yourself and/or others. You can also burn down your house or do enough damage to earn a few years of free room & board from Uncle Sam. If you take reasonable precautions, however--and these precautions are meticulously described--you will end up with a college-level understanding of experimental science. And have a lot of fun. Highly recommended.

Excellent book excellent service-as always

Precisato che ha a che fare con la mia professione di scienziato, ho trovato questo libro molto stimolante e molto utili le "note" che mettono i luce punti critici che 50 anni fa non erano molto considerati. Anche se apparentemente si rivolge a ragazzi adolescenti alla scoperta della scienza, ritengo che all'atto pratico molti esperimenti necessitino di personale qualificato, specialmente quelli di chimica e fisica.

A book that ideally all children should have and all adults with children should be familiar with. What's better than to encourage curiosity of nature in growing minds ? A lot of the science in the book may be too hard for many parents to explain satisfactorily to children, but those children privileged enough to have scientifically minded parents can get a lot out of this book. Works well for older aged individuals fascinated by what nature reveals to us with simple experiments too.
