critical look at alchemy

This book gives a critical view of alchemy. It is supposedly written for children, so it is easy to read. However, my son was not interested to read it with me. He liked the spiritual aspects and metaphors only (for instance in the book, "The Alchemist," by Paulo Coelho), and this is written more like nonfiction.
