From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? How did radium (Ra, 88) nearly ruin Marie Curie's reputation? And why is gallium (Ga, 31) the go-to element for laboratory pranksters? The Periodic Table is a crowning scientific achievement, but it's also a treasure trove of adventure, betrayal, and obsession. These fascinating tales follow every element on the table as they play out their parts in human history, and in the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them. The Disappearing Spoon masterfully fuses science with the classic lore of invention, investigation, and discovery -- from the Big Bang through the end of time. Though solid at room temperature, gallium is a moldable metal that melts at 84 degrees Fahrenheit. A classic science prank is to mold gallium spoons, serve them with tea, and watch guests recoil as their utensils disappear.

The authors style, sarcasm, and constant attempts to be ever more "cute" with explanations and, later, interjections of nihilistic philosophical commentary**, grow more annoying and seemingly arrogant as the book degenerates onward. (Leaves one with impression this author would be an insufferable "know-it-all" as a dinner guest.)** Sampling of examples: "The interplay of elements and drugs can even illuminate how life itself emerges from the unconscious chemical slag of the periodic table." / "...the rich mental life of human beings, the source of all their glory and much of their woe, is chemistry through and through." / " ...tie a supposedly universal unit of time to the transit of an unremarkable rock [Earth] around a forgettable star [Sun]... "/ p.325 & p.330 (paperback), suggesting that if the alpha constant (fundamental value) changes over time, this fact would be enough disprove a creator or God.As other reviewers noted, I was also bothered by the number of factual errors and sloppy & cartoonish descriptions in areas of science with which I'm familiar. These left me wondering and uneasy about the accuracy and legitimacy of commentary in those areas with which I'm not familiar.
