Synopsis of I bottoni di Napoleone. Come 17 molecole hanno cambiato la storia

«I bottoni di Napoleone. Come 17 molecole hanno cambiato la storia» is the popular science essay by Penny Le Couteur and Jay Burreson, published by TEA in paperback (408 pages, in Italian).

Starting from the legend of the tin buttons that crumbled in the Russian cold during Napoleon's campaign, the essay explains how seventeen groups of molecules have shaped the course of history. The work connects everyday substances with major events, from caffeine and the revolution in China to a domestic accident that led to modern explosives and cinema, offering a journey through organic chemistry and its impact on society.

Saggi best seller collection. Italian edition of 2018, translation by Libero Sosio.

For readers of popular science interested in chemistry and the links between science, culture and history.
