Its 118 elements make up everything on our planet and in the entire universe. But how many of us actually know how to interpret its distinctive design? And what does its unique arrangement tell us about the behaviour of each element in the world around us? The Periodic Table looks at the fascinating story and surprising history of each of these elements, from the little-known uses of gold in medicine to that of arsenic as a wallpaper dye in the ninteenth-century and the development of the hydrogen bomb. Packed with interesting facts and figures and helpful illustrations, this accessible guide will help the armchair chemist navigate through the different groups of elements - and discover the world afresh. Review: Super Book - This has beautiful illustrations which really encourage learning about the natural world and the text is highly informative. Review: An excellent guide to all known elements - A beautifully produced guide to the Periodic Table and known elements, with lots of interesting information about when, and by whom (and often how) the elements were discovered, and how they have, and are being put to use. The fascinating Introduction explains how the Periodic Table came about, and it also explains the structure of atoms. The whole guide is written in a bright and often amusing manner, with a page given to the description and information about each element, with the opposite page showing a superb photograph. In my opinion this book should be in the possession of every science (especially chemistry) student, and who knows, hopefully it may inspire everyone who reads it, to take an interest in science. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 64,487 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 117 in History of Science (Books) 2,279 in Secondary School Textbooks 2,350 in Popular Science | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 468 Reviews | ## Images ![The Periodic Table: A Field Guide to the Elements - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RdqeXZ3SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Book *by D***S on 6 March 2025* This has beautiful illustrations which really encourage learning about the natural world and the text is highly informative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent guide to all known elements *by K***S on 13 November 2013* A beautifully produced guide to the Periodic Table and known elements, with lots of interesting information about when, and by whom (and often how) the elements were discovered, and how they have, and are being put to use.

Each element gets the same treatment - history of discovery, main uses and interesting facts. Who knew smoke detectors use americium which is more radioactive than weapons-grade plutonium? However I did spot quite a number of contradictions in the text i.e. the main entry for gold notes the largest nugget was 112kg but the text below the accompanying image states the largest nugget weighed 78kg. There are a number of similar errors dotted throughout the book which annoyed me a bit but didn't detract too much from the overall pleasure. Perhaps the author just wants to see if you're paying attention... Minus one star for the errors - now write out "I must proof-read my work" one hundred times. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Periodic Table: A Visual Guide to the Elements - The Elements Book: A Visual Encyclopedia of the Periodic Table (DK Our World in Pictures) - A Kids' Guide to the Periodic Table: Everything You Need to Know about the Elements --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48535123-the-periodic-table-a-field-guide-to-the-elements](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/48535123-the-periodic-table-a-field-guide-to-the-elements) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-24*
