The 13th Element: The Sordid Tale of Murder, Fire, and Phosphorus
John Emsley
Tells the surprising history of phosphorus, an element which was discovered by alchemists, prescribed by apothecaries, exploited by industrialists and abused by 20th-century combatants. Over the years, phosphorus has been called a poison, a miracle elixir, and even the answer to the mystery of spontaneous human combustion! Award-winning author John Emsley traces the shocking history of the thirteenth element.
