Mystery of the Periodic Table

by Benjamin D. Wiker, Ted Schluenderfritz, Jeanne Bendick   |  Ages 13+
$9.90
Mystery of the Periodic Table
Mystery of the Periodic Table

Epic journey through the history of elements.

If you've ever been curious about how the elements came to be known and organized, "Mystery Of The Periodic Table" will take you on a historical adventure. It's not just a dry recount of facts; it humanizes the scientific pursuit with anecdotes of the eclectic personalities who've contributed to our understanding of chemistry. Plus, the illustrations add a charming touch that makes the science accessible and enjoyable, especially for younger readers with a budding interest in the subject.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Leads the reader on a delightful and absorbing journey through the ages, on the trail of the elements of the Periodic Table as we know them today. He introduces the young reader to people like Von Helmont, Boyle, Stahl, Priestly, Cavendish, Lavoisier, and many others, all incredibly diverse in personality and approach, who have laid the groundwork for a search that is still unfolding to this day. The first part of Wiker's witty and solidly instructive presentation is most suitable to middle school age, while the later chapters are designed for ages 12-13 and up, with a final chapter somewhat more advanced. Illustrated by Jeanne Bendick and Ted Schluenderfritz.
