The Periodic Table: A Visual Guide to the Elements Paperback – March 11, 2014

Easy to read and very informative about the elements of the Periodic Table--I love it!

I love this book, I like the periodic table of elements and I love you author who made this book.

It serves as a brilliant introduction to the table of chemical elements. Occasionally errata creep in, as in the description of half-life. And in the transfermium list there is no definition for TBC as a place of discovery, unless it stands for “to be continued.”

My 7 yo son is obsessed with the periodic table. He's memorized it in large part because of this book. While this is clearly meant for an adult audience, I am able to translate the text easily for my son. The pictures are wonderful. It is a great gift for any science lover or enthusiast hoping to learn more about the periodic table.

HEY! You have got to get your family this book. The Periodic Table book is interesting, small enough to fit comfortably in your hand, and will entertain you and yours for many hours. Elements are thoroughly explained, then your told how they relate. Wow, I wish this type of information, this format had existed when I was in school.

Excellent, not-too-complicated book. Christmas present for my grandson, who asked for and received a Periodic chart for his wall. I'm ordering a copy for myself.

Great for the armchair scientist. I continue my objective scientific studies which I have done for decades, along with Philosophy, Metaphysics, and Theology. The exquisite organization of the Universe leaves no doubt in my mind about the existence of God..

The preview is spot on. I bought this book because I thought I would read it and I do. It's interesting because the element's description is 1-2 pages. It's short enough where you don't feel like you're reading a dull textbook. It's more similar to snippets from from a magazine summary. The colors pop on the pictures and cover. It's a likable and pretty book in person. I bought the hard copy because I saw this book at a store and I knew that I would love having this to flip through the pretty pictures or re-read a page here and there.
