This book explains what the chemical elements are and their various properties. Historical Information on how each element was discovered in given. The book also includes material on the different isotopes of the elements and their chemical compounds.
Actually, it had some interesting facts in it which were sort of interesting but I otherwise didn't know what to make of the book. It is a little bit history of science and a little bit actual chemistry, plus if you like some strange chemistry trivia, this might be the book for you
