Walter Schroeder Library Presents:
The Disappearing Spoon
By Sam Kean
For the next weekly book raffle!
(ONE copy will be raffled off.)
"Why did Gandhi hate iodine? How did radium nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The periodic table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's 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, conflict, the arts, medicine, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them."
