The formulation of the periodic table, in 1869, revolutionised chemistry in the same way that Darwin and Newton’s theories had advanced the fields of biology and physics. The discovery of a relationship between the known elements revealed a link between the scientific disciplines and offered scientists an inkling into the blueprint of the universe. This fascinating book traces the story of the table of elements.
