Description
Join an adventurous and fascinating journey through the periodic table and meet every element, from the lightest hydrogen to the heavy and extraordinary elements at its outer edges. Each one is more than a bare entry in the list of substances that make up everything around us: each has played an important role in human history. Discover how the elements shaped civilizations, inspired alchemists, advanced technology and influenced culture. Their stories reveal the circumstances of their discoveries, the scientific principles behind them and surprising connections that show how deeply they affect everyday life. You will learn why some elements changed the course of history, what myths surround them, why some metals are considered noble while others are dangerous, and how science continually expands the boundaries of what we consider possible.
