Title: The Disappearing Spoon by Sam Keen
Post by: Gratiot on January 25, 2011, 12:05:36 AM

The Disappearing Spoon and Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from The Periodic Table of the Elements.

I'm only a hundred pages or so into this chemical stampede of lunacy, but I really have been fascinated with so many tales of scientific mischief which stemmed from all of the elements!  A very dry and nerdish book, certainly, but pretty educational and entertaining if you can deal with that.
