Reseña de Periodic Tales

Periodic Tales de Hugh Aldersey-Williams Resumen del Libro

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

'If only chemistry had been like this at school' Matt Ridley, Prospect
________________

Elements. Everything in the universe is made of them, including you. And like you, the elements have personalities, attitudes, talents, shortcomings, stories rich with meaning.

Here you'll meet iron that rains from the heavens. You'll learn how lead can tell your future while zinc may one day line your coffin. You'll discover what connects the bones in your body with the Whitehouse in Washington, the glow of a streetlamp with the salt on your dinner table.

Unlocking their astonishing secrets and colourful pasts, Periodic Tales is a voyage of wonder and discovery, showing that their stories are our stories, and their lives are inextricable from our own.
