A review by jroberts3456
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

4.0

Kean's knack for creating story out of scientific history is a kind of alchemy. This is a great read for laymen who are fascinated by the ideas of chemistry but who don't care about the process. Kean makes science accessible.
