The Periodic Table: Its Story and Its Significance, by
Eric Scerri, Oxford University Press,
2007. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Periodic Table is one of the most
iconic symbols in our culture. Every person interested in the physical world in
which we live will want to read this book. It is also a masterful history of the
people involved in the establishment of the periodic law of chemistry. The
gradual growth in awareness of the regularities of the elements is the main
theme of this work. It is already a classic in its first year in
print! Gary D.
