5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating collection of extraordinary experiments., February 17, 2001
By Aspen Logic, Inc. (Broomfield, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Scientific American's "The Amateur Scientist" : The Complete 20th Century Collection on CD-ROM (CD-ROM)
If you have been trying to locate one of the hard to find copies of "The Amateur Scientist" by C. L. Stong then look no further. Carlson and Greaves have put together a tremendous anthology on one CD of ALL the Amateur Scientist columns ever published from Nov 1999 back to the 1920s! So you get articles by Albert G. Ingalls, C. L. Stong, Russell Porter, Roger Hayward, Jearl Walker, Forrest Mims and others. That means you might be "Falling into Chaos" (11/1999) one day or reading about the "Growing Hobby of Amateur Telescope Making, with Some Examples" (5/1928) The viewing software (Java + HTML documents) is flawless and easy to use. It includes the ability to search by content, subject or date. Thats because the articles weren't merely scanned in. You get actual text and pictures for each article. (Some of the pictures are a little grainy but you can blow them up to view greater detail.) The CD is absolutely addictive. Do not take it to work because you will get nothing done. (It ruined my whole day when it arrived. :-) Each project is carefully ranked on cost, difficulty, danger and utility to faciliate locating experiments suitable for all ages and capabilities. The companion CD also has a large number of shareware, freeware and demoware software titles relating to math, physics, biology and the like.

The Tinker's Guild has made a serious mark with this compilation and it was well worth the money to me. I simply can't recommend it highly enough.
