Description and Reader Names: Join us for a discussion of The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements by Sam Kean. Most of us left the periodic table behind in high school or college, and recall it as an inanimate grid of numbers and letters, only a few of which remain in our memory. Kean brings each element alive through stories of discovery, intrigue, madness, and betrayal. The Disappearing Spoon was shortlisted for the 2010 Royal Society Winton Prize, awarded to outstanding works of popular science.
