The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Kean
The periodic table is one of our crowning scientific achievements, but it's also a treasure trove of passion, adventure, betrayal and obsession. The fascinating tales here follow carbon, neon, silicon, god and every single element as they play out their parts in human history and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
