The second book in the series is about how to work with nature instead of against it. The first volume had a lot more surprising application than you thought but almost everyone that I've told about this series has been surprised by its depth and applicability. If you are only looking for scientific information or chemistry information Then this book isn't for you. But if you want to take these ideas that you know just a little bit about maybe because you remember being taught this, This is absolutely the book for you.
