«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.
