As one of the most recognizable images in science, the periodic table is ingrained in our culture. First drawn up in 1869 by Dmitri Mendeleev, its 118 elements make up not only everything on our planet but also everything in the entire universe. The Periodic Table looks at the fascinating story and surprising uses of each of those elements, whether solid, liquid or gas. From the little-known uses of gold in medicine to the development of the hydrogen bomb, each entry is accompanied by technical data (category, atomic number, weight, boiling point) presented in easy-to-read headers, and a colour-coding system that helps the reader to navigate through the different groups of elements. A remarkable display of thought-provoking science and beautiful photography, this guide will allow the reader to discover the world afresh. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Four elements are unnamed in the book but that's only because they were recently named and the book has a 2013 copyright. It also has a glossary and an index. The only negative I can find is a nitpick and is a personal one for me. I dislike those circle electron valence shell diagrams!
As I wrote above, this is a great reference book for anyone from a youngster interested in chemistry to chemistry instructors or just anyone who wants to know more about elements. You can use it to look up a specific element or just randomly dip into it. What really sells it and makes it interesting to me is:
1) Nice, thick paper which makes it durable.
2) Low price which makes it easily accessible to more people.
3) The awesome pictures!
This book goes right into my go-to section for chemistry bookshelves! ( )
