Also The Dorito Effect--about how chemical flavor enhancement has changed the way we eat (for the worse).

Good afternoon,

One of our chemistry teachers is looking to run a sort of in-class book club next semester with her class using non-fiction books that tie into her curriculum.  She is looking for books that are interesting, engaging, and deal with some sort of chemistry/chemical phenomena.  We talked about Radium Girls, The Poison Squad, The Disappearing Spoon, etc.  Just curious if any of your science teachers have a project like this.  If so, are there any books that you would recommend that we add to the list?  If you happen to have a teacher that has a similar project, and they would be willing to share their instructions and/or rubrics for the project, that would be great too!

Thanks so much!!
