At the dawn of World War I, Herbert Dow, the founder of The Dow Chemical Company, received news of "star shells," weapons that glowed eerily as they descended over trenches, making it easier to attack enemies. Dow, along with a half-dozen other U.S. firms, swiftly began manufacturing the key component--magnesium. Brandt's engaging history chronicles Dow's eighty-three-year romance with this remarkable metal.
