The best things said about it
That's why the a simple children's chemistry book called The Golden Book of chemistry experiments was banned in I think it was like 1970 1969 and it's it was a children's book for chemical experiments.
Why people recommend it
The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments by Robert Brent is a children's science book that provides instructions for conducting various chemical experiments at home. On an episode of Stuff You Should Know from February 2024 titled The Story of the Nuclear Boy Scout, host Josh Clark discussed how David Hahn received this publication from his step-grandfather at the age of ten. Clark explained that the young boy was fascinated with science and chemistry, particularly drawn to stories about Marie and Pierre Curie and their discovery of radium and its characteristic glow. Later, in June 2023 on Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, co-host Ben Bowlin discussed the publication as an example of a children's book that was ultimately banned around 1969 or 1970. Bowlin noted that despite being designed for simple chemical experiments, the volume was pulled from circulation because it contained potentially dangerous instructions. Together, these podcast discussions highlighted how a seemingly innocent educational guide played a pivotal role in inspiring a young, scientifically curious mind while also attracting regulatory controversy due to the real-world hazards associated with its printed chemical formulas.
