Raymond E. Barrett's Build-It-Yourself Science Laboratory is a classic
book that took on an audacious task: to show young readers in the 1960s
how to build a complete working science lab for chemistry, biology, and
physics--and how to perform experiments with those tools. The
experiments in this book are fearless and bold by today's standards--any
number of the experiments might never be mentioned in a modern book for
young readers! Yet, many from previous generations fondly remember how
we as a society used to embrace scientific learning.
This new version of Barrett's book has been updated for today's world
with annotations and updates from Windell Oskay of Evil Mad Scientist
Laboratories, including extensive notes about modern safety practices,
suggestions on where to find the parts you need, and tips for building
upon Barrett's ideas with modern technology. With this book, you'll be
ready to take on your own scientific explorations at school, work, or
home.
