pyrochris Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I dont know if this should go here, but i got this info from a friend! http://img124.imageshack.us/img124/3640/bannedbookkk2.png The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments (1960)Brent, Robert Reviews from people who purchased this book: Chemistry at its best., March 10, 2004Reviewer: M. Petnuch "stratofort" (Richton Park, IL United States)Hard to find, (and very costly if you do) is the original 1960 edition of this book. It seems to have gained infamy since the 1995 incident near Detroit of child chemist, David Hahn. With the release of a full scale book this month by author Ken Silverstein called 'The Radioactive Boyscout', which details this nuclear incident, the popularity of this early chemistry 'how to do it' book will only grow. The early edition is known for its 50's style simplicity where chemical wastes and pollution were never a concern to Americans, certainly not in the age of 'better living through chemistry'!!! Thoroughly interesting and full of ideas and inspiration, it is the bible for any young chemist-in-training. You will enjoy. Second Printing Copy for sale:NY: Golden Press. 1962.

pyrochris Posted September 24, 2006 Author Share Posted September 24, 2006 If anyone never read "The Radioactive Boyscout" Here it is! It amazes me how smart this kid was! http://www.dangerouslaboratories.org/radscout.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frozentech Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 If anyone never read "The Radioactive Boyscout" Here it is! It amazes me how smart this kid was! http://www.dangerouslaboratories.org/radscout.html Then, when he joined the Navy, he didn't qualify for the Nuclear Power program LOL... Actually, he may have been smart enough to get in, but he can't get a security clearance to ever work on the 'real thing', and having taken an unknown dose already, no one will ever hire him to work around potential radioactive exposure. He's more or less an object of ridicule among nuclear power workers in the US Navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemguy Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I've read Radioactive boy scout, I've got a real copy. Interesting. It seems so simple to do all those chemical things when they are actually much harder. The golden book is good also. I downloaded it a while ago and printeed the whole thing. Good quality reading if you ask me. So laid back about danger, e.g. making chloring. That's my type of book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I’ve just tried one of the chlorine experiments in the book and also got gassed in the process, all good fun. What I did was the burning of steel wool in the chlorine gas, worked well, nice large cloud of iron chloride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chemguy Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I liked the one on iodine, worked well, however water vapour was a problem . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
