The Periodic Table introduces young chemists to the world of the elements as it's never been seen before. Designed to resemble popular networking Web sites, the pages of this book feature "homepages" for each of the chemical elements—complete with witty and informative profiles 'written' by the elements themselves, plus a personally chosen picture.
