Linda’s Reviews > Periodic Tales: A Cultural History of the Elements, from Arsenic to Zinc by Hugh Aldersey-Williams > Status Update

I stalled on this for a little bit, as it is quite dense. But full of interesting anecdotes, and fast-paced, for its subject. I can't seem to decide how it is organized, though, so that is kind of bugging me. You would think alpha? But no, that doesn't seem to be the case.

This is very interesting, but I'm having trouble figuring out how it's organized. We started with gold, then a couple other elements, then we were talking about the guy who actually put together the first periodic table, and then mercury... I don't know where I'm going! I like the writing style, but for some reason it keeps putting me to sleep. Still going.
