Napoleon's buttons: 17 molecules that changed history / Le Couteur, Penny; Burreson, Jay 2004  Book
Le Couteur, Penny Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication New York, Penguin Group, 2004.
Description 376pCream Spine
Summary/Abstract Though many factors have been proposed to explain the failure of Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign, it has also been linked to something as small as a button, a tin button, the kind that fastened everything from the greatcoats of Napoleon's officers to the trousers of his foot soldiers. When temperature drop below 56[degrees]F, tin crumbles into powder. Were the soldiers of the Grande Armee fatally weakened by cold because the buttons of their uniforms fell apart? How different our world might be if tin did not disintegrate at low temperature and the French had continued their eastward expansion! This fascinating book tells the stories of seventeen molecules that, like the tin of those buttons, greatly influenced the course of history.
