This is a wonderful and informational book on the elements of the Periodic Table. I really liked how it used real life history to explain how each element was discovered, and how each element made its own contribution to history.
Near the end, however, it began to get slightly boring as it talked about weights, but all in all, it is a great read! And of all the elements, the ones that interested me the most in this book were the uniquely stable elements. This is a very well-written book, and when you start, you have to finish it!
