《消失的勺子：及其他来自元素周期表的疯狂、爱情与世界历史的真实传奇》，Sam Kean 著
"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
……他和他的团队差点丧命。2. 《坚忍号》（Endurance），欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士争当首个到达南极之人的真实经历。可以说是史上最伟大的求生故事之一。3. 《消失的勺子》（The Disappearing Spoon），元素周期表背后的故事、元素本身、发现它们的人以及当时的发现背景。能学到很多你平时压根没怎么琢磨过的日常知识。4.……
…he and his team almost perished. 2. Endurance True story of Sir Ernest Shackelton's journey to be the first to reach the south pole. Arguably one of the greatest survival stories of all time. 3.

Learn a lot about day to day things you don't put much thought into. 4.…
如果你喜欢这个，我强烈推荐《消失的勺子》（The Disappearing Spoon）。书名其实是在玩镓熔点很低的梗，书里对绝大多数元素以及元素周期表本身的历史都写得极其精彩。
If you enjoyed this, I highly recommend “The Disappearing Spoon.” The title is a reference to Gallium’s low melting point, and the book has wonderful histories of most of the elements, and the table itself.
《消失的勺子》（The Disappearing Spoon）里对这个有很棒的解释和探讨。读起来很有意思，讲的全是元素周期表里那些元素背后的历史。
There’s a good explanation/discussion on this in “The Disappearing Spoon.” It’s a fun read, on the history of the elements in the periodic table.
我也强烈推荐这本书。我总是在找那种把技术和历史融合得很好的书。我最喜欢的例子之一就是《消失的勺子》（Disappearing Spoon），用故事把化学探索讲得引人入胜。《像素传》（Biography of the Pixel）的水准完全可以和它相媲美。
I highly recommend this book as well. I am always on the lookout for technical books that have a good mix of history. One of my favorite examples is the "Disappearing Spoon", which is an engaging exploration of chemistry with stories. Biography of the Pixel is right up there with that.
……关于各种五花八门主题的茶几读物，这类书本来就不是打算让你按顺序从头读到尾的——随便拿起来挑个章节就能看得很开心。比如《消失的勺子》、《万物简史》、《小提琴家的大拇指》等等。你能读得进去《Pro Git》挺好的，但这玩意儿听起来就像我当医生时拿来给病人进行药物诱导……
…coffee table compendiums around a vast array of subjects that aren't intended to be read sequentially - I can just pick it up and start a random chapter and enjoy them for short sessions. Examples are The Disappearing Spoon, A Short History of Nearly Everything, The Violinist's Thumb, etc. I'm glad you enjoyed "Pro Git" but that sounds like the kind of thing that I would use as a doctor to place a patient into a medically…
