Periodic Table:
"The Periodic Kingdom," PW Atkins (Peter W. Atkins) -- ALL TIME FAVORITE AUTHOR, This one treats the table like a geographical landscape....i owe all my periodic skills to this little book
"Mendelyeev's Dream," author forgotten (sorry)
"Nature's Building Blocks," John Emsley --- all the elements of the table
Specific Elements/Molecules
"Molecules at an Exhibition," John Emsley
"Lipstick, Vanity, Viagra," John Emsley --- these last 2 books each offer a Profile of specific molecules found in society and the various products used by society.
"The Carbon Age," Eric Roston -- very recent, very good,
"Hydrogen: The Essential Element," John Rigden -- deals alot with PHYSICS actually
"Oxygen: The Molecule that Made the World," Nick Lane -- geochemistry, deals with very current research...excellent
"Big Coal, The Dirty Secret Behind America's Energy Future," Jeff Goodell -- political agenda, of course, but it is carbon...and chemistry affects society, so its good to follow the links.
"Coal: A Human History," Barbara Freese -- becoming a definitive book on coal history, not like the above book, this one really focuses on the carbon rock itself. WONDERFUL, and quick to read.
"Plutonium," author unknown, new release, dont own YET
"Uranium," author unknown, new release, dont own YET
"The 13th Element," John Emsley -- all about PHOSPHOROUS.
"Napoleon's Buttons: 17 Molecules that Changed the World," Le Couteur & Burreson
General Chemistry Books:
"The Crucibles of Chemistry," Bernard Jaffe --- very excellent, biographies of ALL MAJOR chemists, and therefore of chemistry itself
"Distilling Knowledge," author forgotten -- a short view of the history of chemistry
"The Last Sorcerers," Richard Morris -- history of the PEOPLE involved in chemical history
"Creations of Fire," Cobb & Goldwhite -- the WHOLE history of Chemical science
"Designing the Molecular World," Phillip Ball -- looks at CURRENT research being done, and provides neat explanations of basic material along the way, all mixed together.
"The Development of Modern Chemistry," Aaron J. Ihde, THE authoritive history of chemistry
"The Secret of Scent," Luca Turin -- very interesting foray into perfume chemistry

Where is the best place to stay at disney world? I have 2 boys that are 5&6?

We would like to take our boys to D.W. I would like to know what the best value and experience would be.
Answer
It all depends on what you want to spend and what type of resort you'd like to stay at. There are three categories: deluxe, moderate, and value. Deluxe obviously are the most expensive, with moderate and value being a little less.
Value: If your boys like sports, the All-Star Sports Resort might be fun. It's a sports themed value resort that's big on fun. Popular sports like baseball, basketball, football, surfing and tennis are emphasized, which is why it's great for kids. A standard room consists of two double beds, a television, a bathroom, a table and chairs and internet access and a mini-fridge for an additional cost. This is a fun experience if you're more devoted to spending the day the parks than hanging in the hotel room for a little bit, though it isn't the highest quality.
Moderate: I've always liked the old charm of the Port Orleans resorts in the moderate section. French Quarter and Riverside are two branches of the Port Orleans line, and both are great. Your boys may not appreciate the scenery as much as you will, but the fun additions - such as horse-drawn carriage rides and a pool with a water-slide - will make the boys immediately get excited. Both have very standard rooms, perfect for a quick in-and-out in the morning. After all, at Disney World, the hotel isn't a huge part of your stay.
Deluxe: I usually stay at a deluxe resort simply because of how stunning they are. It was hard for me to go through all the deluxe resorts and choose one that would manage to cater to the personalities of two young boys, but I found it. The Disney Wilderness Lodge is so great for families that I'm surprised it didn't smack me on the forehead as soon as I clicked on this question. It is surrounded by gorgeous scenery, with a ton of trees that you can point out to them. The wooden interior gives off a cool outdoors vibe with all the benefits of staying indoors. These rooms are especially great for families and kids, because you can request a room with a double bed (for you and your spouse, or just you) and bunk-beds for the kids. Nothing can spoil a vacation more than no sleep from constant kicking, so bunk-beds are a good way to keep the kids separated from you and your sleep needs.
Last but not least, there are Disney campgrounds and deluxe villas, both of which are fun but have some cons. For camping out, it's basically camping out: no nice, air-conditioned room to return to after a long day riding rides. This, opposed to the Wilderness Lodge, is the actual outdoors, with no cushy padding. It's not recommended for younger kids because they often get fussy and hot, plus I know that after a day at Disney, I want a nice bed to sleep in, not a sleeping bag.
As for the deluxe villas, a villa is basically a small house with numerous rooms. This is more ideal for large parties and is outrageously expensive, especially for three or four people. I don't recommend shelling out the money for one of these, unless an extended stay of over two weeks is applicable.
Other than that, enjoy your vacation and I hope I helped!
