Arturo Riojas' book is at the same time entertaining and informative. His work revolves around one of the so-called heavy metals(cadmium).

I find the author a champion of human life, and therefore I recommend this book to everyone who is concerned about their health or the well-being of the others. I too recommend the book to the young generation, especially students in the scientific field, farmers, those in the manufacturing sector, and doctors.

In fact, I have read and re-read the content, and I keep it as part of my library for consultation from time to time. The book is well-articulated and edited. Just some few typos: 1. Chapter 1, p.g. 8, 3rd paragraph, 3rd sentence "An atmosphere that contained primarily one condensable, water, was much more amenable to habitation that one of sulfuric acid or any atmosphere so rarefied.." I feel that the second 'that' in the sentence should be 'than', comparison. 2. Chapter 5, p.g. 37, 1st paragraph "I sort of assumed that ...responsible for those disease'. Disease should be in plural
