The Hidden Tales of the Periodic Table
Listen now
Description
Sam Kean answers all sorts of questions in his fun book about the periodic table. "Why did Gandhi hate iodine (I, 53)? Why did the Japanese kill Godzilla with missiles made of cadmium (Cd, 48)? 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." This even is sponsored with the UAA Complex Systems Group.
