The Disappearing Spoon
The infectious tales and astounding details in 'The Disappearing Spoon' follow carbon, neon, silicon and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.
The Disappearing Spoon...and other true tales from the Periodic Table
Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium (Cd, 48)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why did tellurium (Te, 52) lead to the most bizarre gold rush in history? 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 in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, gold and every single element 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. Why did a little lithium (Li, 3) help cure poet Robert Lowell of his madness? And how did gallium (Ga, 31) become the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Disappearing Spoon has the answers, fusing science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, discovery and alchemy, from the big bang through to the end of time.

Il cucchiaino scomparso
Fra le elementari nozioni scientifiche insegnate anche a scuola, poche sono così sconcertanti e fanno altrettanto sognare come la tavola periodica degli elementi, scoperta nel 1869 da Mendeleev e, autonomamente, da J.L. Meyer. Ci voleva un libro come quello di Sam Kean – intreccio di eclettismo disciplinare e vasta erudizione – perché dietro ogni simbolo e ogni numero atomico si spalancassero sequenze stupefacenti in tutti gli ambiti dell'esperienza e della conoscenza umana. Punteggiato di magnifici aneddoti (come quello, evocato nel titolo, del cucchiaino di gallio che si scioglie al contatto del tè caldo, permettendo trucchi alla Houdini) e digressioni narrative, questo volume è un'introduzione affascinante e piena di verve alla conoscenza di ciò che costituisce il nostro pianeta e il resto dell'universo.
Mizející lžíce, růžový sníh a jiskřící bonbóny
Museli Japonci zničit Godzillu zrovna raketami z kadmia? Je správné jíst radioaktivní guláš? Jak souvisí radium a dobrá pověst Marie Curie? Odpovědi nabízí mimořádně zábavná a odborně fundovaná kniha, plná historek o vědcích a nečekaných příběhů spojených s jednotlivými prvky periodické tabulky.
