Mystery of the Periodic Table

When we look at these nice, neat, and straight rows of elements on the Periodic Table of the Elements we might think that it was a nice, neat, and straight road to their discovery. Nothing could be further from the truth. It was a long and difficult journey much like the perilous wanderings of Odysseus in Homer's great epic tale, ""The Odyssey."" Of course the wanderings made it an adventure, and an adventure is always an exciting thing to retell."" [From the Book]



A delightful and absorbing journey through the ages, on the trail of the elements of the Periodic Table.
