"Grandsire Atom, who had been snoring in his easy chair up until the Molecules' conversation interrupted his snooze, broke into laughter so hearty that he nearly split himself in two. How he loved his offspring, his adored grand-offspring, and all that binds family awkwardness-even the hyper-reactive free radicals, the overly excited atomic and molecular grandchildren diagnosed with Electron-Deficient Orbital, a syndrome occurring even in the best of families, all delightfully sparkling their unique energy levels.

Grandmother Universal Constants blew a subtle kiss at her adored sons and daughters, and the infants they begat."

"The Isotopes & the Molecules makes you aware that our feisty universe is vibrantly alive in ways you might otherwise not imagine." - David Alexander
