A wonderful book - L.A. Daily Breeze , Oct. 19, 2001

Highly entertaining . . . In addition to being able to tell a good story, van Dulken . . . easily assembles complex ideas from chemistry and engineering and makes them palatable for the lay person. Van Dulken has assembled a panoramic snapshot of the century. By giving us a picture of our past, van Dulken also presents our future. - Boston Globe ,

A fascinating compendium for trivia seekers. - Publishers Weekly ,

Remarkable . . . get the book for yourself. It'll hold you for many hours. - Wall Street Journal ,

One more treasure trove for trivia addicts. - Herald-Republic ,
