From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up–This book opens with an explanation of Democrituss concept of the atom (465 B.C.). Next, three full-color photo-essays cover the scientists connected to the study of the elements throughout history and the Anatomy of an Atom, radiation, and the elements found in the human body and around the home. The latter half of the volume is devoted to the individual elements from hydrogen to ununquadium, in order of their atomic number. For each, the individuals associated with its discovery, the date of discovery, the origin of the name, atomic weight, melting point, and a photograph, when applicable, are provided. A few paragraphs describing the elements uses are also included. Captioned black-and-white and color photographs and illustrations break up the text, and boxed areas highlight specific topics or individuals, such as Marie and Pierre Curie. The future of the periodic table and the quest to discover new elements are mentioned throughout. A useful overview.–Maren Ostergard, Bellevue Regional Library, WA

The Elements: What You Really Want to Know
Seller: Bulrushed Books, Moscow, ID, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Seller Inventory # #165A-0066
