"The Disappearing Spoon shines a welcome light on the beauty of the periodic table. Follow plain speaking and humorous Sam Ken into its intricate geography and stray into astronomy, biology, and history, learn of neon rain and gas warfare, meet both ruthless and selfless scientists, and before it is over fall head over heals for the anything but arcane subject of chemistry."
―Bill Streever, New York Times bestselling author of COLD (Little, Brown)

 “It happens often in biology, but only once in a rare while does an  author come along with the craft and the vision to capture the fun and  fascination of chemistry. Sam Kean's The DISAPPEARING SPOON is a pleasure and  full of insights. If only I had read it before taking chemistry.”
―Mark  Kurlansky, New York Times bestselling author of Salt: A World History (Walker), Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World (Walker), and The Eastern Stars: How Baseball Changed the Dominican Town of San Pedro de Macoris (Riverhead)

Sam Kean is a writer based in Washington, D.C. His work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Mental Floss, Slate, The Believer, Air & Space, Science, and The New Scientist.

From the Publisher (Little, Brown):
The Periodic Table is one of man's crowning scientific achievements. But it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. 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.

We learn that Marie Curie used to provoke jealousy in colleagues' wives when she'd invite them into closets to see her glow-in-the-dark experiments. Lewis and Clark swallowed mercury capsules across the country and their campsites are still detectable by the poison in the ground. From the Big Bang to the end of time, it's all in The Disappearing Spoon.
