Mebane enjoys going to elementary and middle schools to present chemistry experiments to students. He has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry from Duke University and is a member of the chemistry faculty at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Some of his other interests are backpacking, fishing, and kayaking. Thomas R. Rybolt has a young daughter who likes to do chemistry experiments with him. He has observed that even young children love to learn about science and the world around them. Dr. Rybolt received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology. He also is a member of the chemistry faculty at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Doctors Mebane and Rybolt explain why they wrote this book: We want to show that the basic ideas of chemistry are simple and beautiful. Many people believe that you need expensive chemicals or computers to learn about chemistry. We've put together experiments using ingredients you can buy in a grocery store. By performing these experimentsyou learn basicprinciples ofchemistry and have fun learning, too. VIII
