About the Author:
Jay Wile fell in love with chemistry when his parents bought him his first chemistry set. Many stink bombs and a few explosions later, he was hooked! He attended the University of Rochester to study chemistry and, while there, became fascinated with nuclear chemistry, eventually earning a PhD in that field. For several years, he did research under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation while serving as an assistant professor of chemistry. Dr. Wile has won many awards for excellence in teaching and research. In addition, he has authored or co-authored nine books.
Review:
An interesting, relevant study that addresses scientific concepts as they've emerged over years of study and experimentation, along with topics found in current events (pollution and global warming among them). Add to that the fact that the author writes from a solidly Creationist, Christian worldview, and you have a winner in my book. --Eclectic Homeschool Online
Author Dr. Jay L. Wile is an engaging and witty writer. This is not a dry, dreary, mind-numbing science curriculum. . . . I wish Dr. Wile had been writing textbooks 25 years ago! I have learned more from these two books than I learned in six years of middle school and high school science. --The Old Schoolhouse Magazine
