Sam Kean is a fun science-y storyteller. This is the second book I've read by him and it was some fascinating stuff. From the earth's earliest atmospheres, to the various elements in the air we breathe, this tells a wide-ranging story of scientists, their history, and elements in the air around us. The last chapter which touches on climate change was chilling. Climate change can not be ignored.
