Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters?*
The periodie table is a crowning scientific achievement, but its also a treasure trove of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession.
These fascinating tales follow all the elements on the table as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, contliet, the arts. medicine, and the lives of the (frecuently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, discovery, and alchemy: from the big bang through the end of time
