Summary: Definitive Guide
Review: While I would not say that the merit of the book lies in its non-committal stance, I was certainly convinced that the author knew his chemistry. My reading was facilitated by the poetic interludes and anecdotes, which seem to have become a genre within science writing. Mr. Perrine should write another book, non-technical, and I am sure he will be as entertaining and informative. Inspired by his book I have released my newsletter with this theme this time. Not to put too fine a point on it, the book is mind-altering itself. It changed the way I looked at my erstwhile indulgences.
