Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us.

This is an absolutely amazing book p.It talks about how the elements were discovered,they're used in society,they're history, religious use and much more.a great part of the book was when they were saying how alchemy lead to the finding of new elements and really got me enthused about alchemical science.
