This book opened my eyes to how interesting chemistry can be. Yeats said that, "Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." I wish I had been lucky enough to have been exposed to something like this, that lights that fire, before I slogged through undergraduate chemistry, which, at my large, impersonal state college, definitely followed the pail-filling theory of pedagogy.
