The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, written by Robert
Brent and illustrated by Harry Lazarus, is a children's book published in the
1960s that was intended to explain to kids how they could set up a home
chemistry lab and conduct simple experiments. Supposedly the US government had
the book removed from libraries and banned for sale on the grounds that the
projects were too dangerous for its intended audience. I would have to agree
that you probably don't want your kids making and igniting hydrogen in the garage,
but for the aspiring chemist who can adhere to the safety precautions, this
remains one of the best do-it-yourself chemistry books around. It is sort of
funny that a book that is banned from the public library is legal to download
and read, but it's true!
