Chemistry surrounds us everywhere: the entire history of mankind is the history of chemistry, chemical discoveries and disasters, inventions and scientific progress, the application of chemical knowledge for good and evil, in peacetime and on the battlefield. In this book, Swedish scientist Lars Ørström invites the reader to immerse himself in the astonishing and fascinating world of chemistry - from reactions and elements that make up Mendeleev's periodic table to monarchs, industrial spies and great explorers of the past. What role did nail polish remover play in World War I? How are the history of hydrogen and the tragedy of the airship Hindenburg connected? And why does Agatha Christie owe her brilliant career to the chemical element bromine? Lars Ørström's narrative closely intertwines the history of science and basic chemical laws, the properties of elements and the fascinating (and sometimes frightening) fates of people.
