The Periodic Table: A Visual Guide to the Elements

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

It was a very interesting reading, as I over the years had forgotten much of my basic chemistry. I also learned quite a bit of new stuff. That's always a delite.

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.

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

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.

Terrific graphics and writing put the awesomeness of periodic elements in everyone's hands. A great resource and read for all ages grown-up and youngsters alike. Purchased as a gift for a 10year old, who was utterly thrilled to receive it.

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.

So much information is written and I understood lots elements after reading. I am also satisfied with the content. I recommend to read it if you want to know elements.

The product arrived very fast! I got the book in excellent condition, as expected. Great service! The book is very attractive, it brings interesting information about the elements and detailed picture of them. Great acquisition for those who are starting with Chemistry studies and want to explore a bit more about the periodic table. Yes, I recommend this book!

A beautifully produced book, well organized with some nice photos. Why only 3 stars? Because I found the text badly written. One reviewer said it was like reading a book designed for 14 year olds, and I have to agree. In fact, I would go as far as to say that it is akin to a book written BY 14 year olds. The information is there, but you sense the authors are chemists rather than literates.

A good summary of the elements in the periodic table, their histand and importance. Its a pity however that there are quite a few typographical errors that could have been easily picked up by proof reading by someone with knowledge in the field.

It contains all information about periodic table
