Why was the Hindenburg airship filled with hydrogen and not helium, and why did this lead to tragedy? What did the greengrocers do and why did the peasants not favor them? Why did the British Navy need acetone? Did pewter buttons really play a fatal role in the Napoleonic campaign of 1812? Lars Orström, a Swedish inorganic chemist, lecturer and host of Chemistry World's popular science podcast, unravels literary and real-life detective stories with the ease and passion of a real scientist, telling compelling stories about the elements and our interactions with them.
“Chemistry can be mathematically complex, yet as simple as a children's wooden building set relying on such elementary things as size differences. From time to time we take our constructors out of the box, but now we use the computer more and more. And just like small children who are fascinated by the color, shape and texture of a set of marbles, chemists feel the need to touch atoms and molecules with their fingers to find out what properties they have. (Lars Orström).
