Résumé
The periodic table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, greed, betrayal, and obsession. The fascinating tales in this book follow 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.
