How many bananas would it take to give you radiation sickness? Can human beings really spontaneously combust? What's the strongest acid ever made? The answers to all these questions on the left and many, many more can be found in the periodic table of elements. Passionate science educator Tim James provides an informative guide to the table that shows clearly how this abstract and seemingly jumbled graphic is relevant to our day-to-day lives. As he puts it, elements are 'the building blocks nature uses for cosmic cookery; the purest substances making up everything from beetroot to bicycles. Whether you're studying the periodic table for the first time or are simply interested in the fundamental building blocks of the universe- from the core of the sun to the networks in your brain- Elemental is the perfect guide.
