Thalers to dollars to cobalt to gnomes to uranium to radium to spas and poisonous pottery! What a fantastic journey!
Thank you for this, I'm actually going to bookmark it and show it more than once to friends and family.
Well done.

Thank you all!
I'm very pleased with this one myself, so I'm glad that others found the cross-connections interesting too.

An excellent report. You might want to add to the footnote that the co-author. along with Herber Hoover, of the 1912 translation of DRM was his wife Lou Henry Hoover. I believe that she supplied the Latin skills while he was responsible for the technical input.
