The Periodic Table, a cornerstone of chemistry, unveils its 118 elements in this captivating and accessible exploration. Developed by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in the early 1860s, the periodic table marked a remarkable breakthrough in modern chemistry. This fundamental visual aid provided scientists with a deeper comprehension of chemical elements, revealing their true nature and their indispensable role in everyday life.

In the authoritative Elementary, James Russell employs his engaging narrative to unravel the elements we currently know about. From delving into the origins of the first three elements, hydrogen, lithium, and helium, during the Big Bang, to exploring oxygen and carbon, essential for sustaining life on Earth, and the diverse applications of elements like fluorine, arsenic, krypton, and einsteinium, even the most uninformed individuals will be captivated by this fascinating subject.

This is the tale of the universe's building blocks, and the individuals who discovered, isolated, and even created them.
