Book Synopsis Antimony, Gold, and Jupiter's Wolf by : Peter Wothers
Book excerpt: How did the elements get their names? The origins of californium may be obvious, but what about oxygen? Investigating their origins takes Peter Wothers deep into history. Drawing on a wide variety of original sources, he brings to light the astonishing, the unusual, and the downright weird origins behind the element names we take for granted.
