Excellent book that I used with five high school guys and gals (none had taken chemistry, one took biology) wishing to learn to read better. It is a fast read, many asides, and for my purposes demonstrated the utility of knowing a little about many subjects. For example, the healthy eating advocate working in Alaskan villages on the advantages of consuming muktuk. As Ms. Roach demonstrated in a late April appearance on 'Science Friday' (NPR), she has a great sense of humor.
