Review: Superstuff! is now out of print. The author used much of the material and brought the book up to date in Techno-Matter: The Materials Behind the Marvels, Twenty-First Century Books, Millbrook Press, 2001. That book won the 2002 American Institute of Physics Science Writing Award for books intended for young readers. It was also designated best grade 7-12 science book for 2001 by the Society of School Librarians international.
