Per molti di noi la tavola periodica è un'immagine muta, un vago ricordo delle lezioni di chimica e biologia. Ma essa dice molto di più di quello che sembrerebbe promettere a un primo sguardo. Dietro la sua geometria di sigle, numeri e caselle si cela infatti uno sconfinato universo di storie e aneddoti segreti, una costellazione di racconti capaci di rivelare i retroscena nascosti della nostra cultura. Ed è con questo spirito di scoperta che Hugh Aldersey-Williams ci guida alla conoscenza degli elementi, per indagare i minimi e i grandi eventi del passato, dal commercio del bronzo con cui Roma si arricchì al polonio del caso Litvinenko, dal ferro dell'epoca vittoriana al cloro che uccise migliaia di soldati durante la Prima guerra mondiale. Dalla Carboneria al cadmio di Van Gogh, dalle luci al neon di Las Vegas all'arsenico degli avvelenatori dei romanzi gialli. Un viaggio attraverso la storia, in cui gli uomini passano in secondo piano per lasciar parlare gli elementi chimici che ne furono i silenziosi protagonisti.

È possibile raccontare la scienza con gli strumenti della poesia? Questo libro esplora la questione esaminando dapprima il pensiero, spesso contraddittorio, di scienziati e poeti, per poi presentare una antologia di ‘poesie scientifiche’. L’ampiezza e la varietà di accenti sono sorprendenti: si va dal semplice racconto di frammenti della scienza, una poesia talora didascalica, alla meraviglia e alla celebrazione di grandi scoperte e protagonisti, alla scienza come metafora delle vicende umane, alle implicazioni sociali e ambientali del suo uso, alla poesia come veicolo per un più amichevole approccio al mondo naturale, all’umorismo insito nei fatti tecnici. L’ampiezza di queste tematiche sembra sostanziare quello che Montale diceva della poesia: «basta un foglio di carta e una matita e il gioco è fatto».

During the creative act, the artist and the scientist both proceed through the decoding and recomposition of the realities they observe. Based on this method correspondence, art and science offer tools to study the inner or outer reality, looking at objects and situations and looking for correlations and interpretations, in an ideal relationship between the artist's study and the scientist's laboratory . Starting from this unitary vision of the cognitive processes, the interactions between chemistry and decorative arts, between chemistry and architecture and between chemistry and literature (poetry, theater, narrative) are examined, highlighting sometimes unexpected and surprising analogies and overlappings.

From New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean comes incredible stories of science, history, finance, mythology, the arts, medicine, and more, as told by the Periodic Table. 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.

Napoleon's Buttons is the fascinating account of seventeen groups of molecules that have greatly influenced the course of history. These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance-which, in turn, can result in great historical shifts. With lively prose and an eye for colorful and unusual details, Le Couteur and Burreson offer a novel way to understand the shaping of civilization and the workings of our contemporary world.

A 'travel guide' to the periodic table, explaining the history, geography and the rules of behaviour in this imagined land. The Periodic Kingdom is a journey of imagination in which Peter Atkins treats the periodic table of elements - the 109 chemical elements in the world, from which everything is made - as a country, a periodic kingdom, each region of which corresponds to an element. Arranged much like a travel guide, the book introduces the reader to the general features of the table, the history of the elements, and the underlying arrangement of the table in terms of the structure and properties of atoms. Atkins sees elements as finely balanced living personalities, with quirks of character and certain, not always outward, dispositions, and the kingdom is thus a land of intellectual satisfaction and infinite delight.

This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in 1891 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Diary of a Pilgrimage' is a novel set during a journey to Oberammergau, in Bavaria, to see the Passion play that is performed there every ten years. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its publication.
