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.

Gee, ssitimefill, you’ve been on a heckuva roll.
Alas, a lot of the titles you offer are a bit “thinky” for me . Titles like this that hit the bestseller list are usually easier for me to relate to. I’ve also enjoyed the food/nutrition titles you’ve recently put up.
Thanks so much for your hard work!

ssitimefill,
Christmas came early this year with all these amazing titles you’ve shared lately!! I love all the science, I’m eager to get in the car these days thanks to you. Keep ‘em coming, especially anything relating to chemistry! The Disappearing Spoon is an all-time favorite of mine so I thought it an appropriate place to let you know how much I appreciate your generosity and time. Thank you.

Since this is seems to be the general “thank you” section, I too wanna say sincere thanks to you for the uploads you did recently.
My hard drive hates you though ;)

Sorry about the two missing chapters! There are other active torrents of this audiobook, I suggest trying one of them!

Three missing chapters, actually - 9, 16 and 18. Somebody told me to get this book because of the surprising things it has to say about mercury. Well, mercury is missing, so I remain yet to be surprised. But as you say, somebody else will have posted a more complete book.
