Fun with Elements

Hydrogen.  Helium.  Lithium.  Beryllium.  How far can you get down the periodic table of the elements?  For a lot of people, it's a boring chart they had to memorize for high school chemistry.  For writer Sam Kean, it's a fascinating map to a land of amazing stories of the elements, their properties, and what people have done to and with the elements.  Kean's book is called "The Disappearing Spoon and Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from The Periodic Table of the Elements."
