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
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had no idea what to expect about this book. It was a selection from the Gangplank book club. I ended up loving it. If the periodic table required every element to stand up and tell it’s story on the stage of Jerry Springer, you would end up with this book!
