This booklet was written to accompany the Channel Four TV series 'The Elements'. Since 1991, when this booklet was writen, a further nine elements have been found; so, it is not totally up to date; but not 'out of date' as the short history and general descriptions are correct for those that are listed. What makes this booklet valuable I think is the inclusion of specially commissioned poems by poet Roger McGough for the elements: carbon, gold, iron, mercury, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur and Meitnerium (then only known as element 109). The blend of stuffy science and whimsical poetry make this something unique and potentially place it in the hands of people who would not otherwise glance twice at the periodic table. Beautiful. ( ) A story for every element emerges from Nature's Building Blocks, engendering a tome of facts and fascinations about the periodical table and its constituents. Some elements don't have much to tell, while others boast an expansive historic, economic and chemical resume. Useful for instructors looking to add perspective to topics concerning any element and useful for students looking to know what elements are all about. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
