The average rating for Science of Synthesis Houben-Weyl Methods of Molecular Transformations based on 2 reviews is 4.5 stars.

Review # 1 was written on 2013-05-02 00:00:00 Timothy Mcginn Vicki Cobb is a scientist who, like Bill Nye the Science Guy, loves to do science projects with kids and encourages them to try some in this book. The problem: she needs the help of a cartoon robot named Igor to aid in teaching kids. This sooooo does NOT compute. The benefit: it's still a fun kids book for young scientists.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-07 00:00:00 Nicky Horne Albert Hoffman completed his PhD in Zürich at the age of 23, synthesized LSD-25 at 32, has been experimenting with psychedelic substances till 98 and died aged 102. In this book he writes about his childhood, about the discovery of LSD and its role in psychiatric research, about his trips to Mexico for sacred Indian rituals involving psychoactive mushrooms and seeds, about his encounters with various people from Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary to crazy american hippies and about what all this psychedelic stuff might actually mean. It's a little bit more boring that I've expected, but still pretty educational and interesting enough.
