What a magnificent book. It's gorgeous, playful, and draws you in. Every single photo shows not only a deep love of science in the abstract, but also a tinkerer's love of the STUFF of science; the tools and glass, the clay and metal, and all the things that make science accessible to everyone.
Adam Savage, star of "MythBusters"--Adam Savage"
Theo's MAD SCIENCE is destined to inspire and spark the imaginations of the next generation of makers, tinkerers, engineers and mad scientists!
Phillip Torrone, Senior Editor of "Make "magazine--Phillip Torrone"
Theodore Gray has attained a level of near superhuman geekery that the rest of us can only mutely admire.
Cecil Adams, "The Straight Dope"--Cecil Adams"
I've spent 22 years working with Theo Gray on creating software, seeing him find simple ways to do the seemingly impossible. You're in for a treat here when he applies the same creativity and insight to revealing the science of everyday things.
Stephen Wolfram, creator of Mathematica(r) and author of A New Kind of Science
--Stephen Wolfram"
This is a fabulous book, and a real education, too a beautiful introduction to hands-on chemistry. Theo Gray brings us dozens of experiments in minute, clear, and loving detail, and each one becomes a door onto the marvels of how chemicals react. Whether he is showing us how to make table salt from its violent elements, or, in a quieter vein, to make one s own nylon thread or lead pencils, Gray s encyclopedic knowledge and contagious enthusiasm transport us to deep intellectual realms, while never sacrificing a sense of wonder and, above all, fun.
Oliver Sacks, author of "Awakenings," "Musicophillia," "Uncle Tungsten," and many others--Oliver Sacks"

What good is this Nobel Prize around my neck if it doesn t produce admiration for science writers such as Theo Gray, whose skillful work helps convert young students into serious researchers.
