It may even be the cause of will-o'-the wisps and spontaneous human combustion! Now John Emsley has written an enthralling account of this eerily luminescent element. Shining with wonderful nuggets-from murders-by-phosphorus to a match factory strike; from the firebombing of Hamburg to the deadly compounds derived from phosphorus today-The 13th Element weaves together a rich tableau of brilliant and oddball characters, social upheavals, and bizarre events.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51525183537440,"sku":"NEW047144149X","price":16.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61lDY9B5wOL_1eaea8db-aae2-4ed0-8b2f-3dc3fbb9f338.jpg?v=1777143085","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-13th-element-the-sordid-tale-of-murder-fire-and-phosphorus-047144149x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
