Negative Positive
Title: A serious chemical error
Review: The book seems OK up to page 51, where it loses all credibility. After discussing the virtues of nitrous oxide as a party gas (the chapter is titled "The Hilarity Before Ether Day"), the author gives her instructuions for synthesizing it. The problem, and potential tragedy, is that her recipe produces notrogen dioxide (NO2), not laughing gas (nitrous oxide, N2O). Nitrogen dioxide is very poisonous. Anyone who inhales a single breath deeply will probably die, and the death will be particularly unpleasant.If anyone you care about buys the book, warn about page 51!
