Cooking for Geeks — a cookbook recommendation

[skeptic7]

I just got this cookbook at a thrift store. Its more like McGee's books than a cookbook with recipes. It has charts and wonderful explanations for the actions of salt, and sugar, and cooking with nitrogen, and wonderfully strange chemicals. There are little sidebars with stories of interesting people and scientific explanations.
Has anyone else read it? I recommend it if you can find it used or at a library. Its a little too expensive new.
