Critics Review
“I am so bowled over by Molecules that I can only express my feelings with a one-word blurb: “WONDERFUL!” – Oliver Sacks. “Molecules is like dipping your toe in a clear shallow pool–with transparent explanations, shimmering graphics, and luminous photography–then suddenly realizing you are happily swimming in deep waters, relaxed and having fun! The science here is presented so elegantly you’ll feel like you are holding a jewelry catalog, and it’s impossible to put down. A must have for anyone of any age or education.“Jamie Hyneman, Host, MythBusters
