Looking for a headache cure? Try willow bark. Wondering how that
ice cream got its color? Could be from bug juice. Giving us the
lowdown on these and other chemical phenomena, "The Genie in the
Bottle" reveals the fun and fascinating secrets collected by
popular science writer Dr. Joe Schwarcz.
Blending quirky chemistry with engaging tales from the history of
science, Schwarcz offers a different twist on licorice and straight
talk on travel to the dark side of the sun, along with the skinny
on chocolate research, ginkgo biloba, and blueberries. Find out how
spies used secret inks and how acetone changed the course of
history. Dr. Joe even solves the mystery of exploding shrimp and,
of course, delves into the secret of the genie in the bottle.
Infused with Schwarcz's humor and his fondness for the wonders of
magic and science, "The Genie in the Bottle" celebrates some of the
the most amazing corners of our universe-and our cupboards.
