About this listen

 You may be wearing a Tungsten ring right now, but did you know the promise of Tungsten is almost limitless? The story of Tungsten tells a tale of a metal still successfully used to counterfeit gold, but which is also itself truly valuable: once understood only as an annoyance to tin miners, Tungsten today has proven itself as essential to every industry and art, and will even one day carry humanity beyond the stars.

Easy to understand and entertaining, readers will also learn why it takes the light of a dying star to form Tungsten and why we still rely on Tungsten to light our homes and businesses today. Let the economic and social implications of the metal inspire you to think how you can better use and enjoy this amazing metal in your everyday!
