The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean

3.0

This is a book full of fun stories about the elements, and of course a lot of science. But be warned that some of this is dense. Having a basic understanding of chemistry would be helpful, as well as knowing that some of it will go over your head. My advise? Read (or listen) to the sentence and move on. Appreciate what you can, and leave the rest to the chemists.
