It's Elementary: Putting the Crackle into Chemistry
Dorling Kindersley (96 pages) 9781405318570
The publisher's grand design acumen with lots of clear pictures standing out well and with varied type-faces makes for a super presentation. The style is unabashed enthusiasm and provides lots and lots of facts with great appeal for those who really relish such detail. The focus is on the chemical elements and the basic matter that everything consists of. There are amazing facts about what makes people, and what makes your pet dog; lots of questions are asked and answered, and the stories of the discoverers of the elements of the periodic table are covered as well. The book serves as a lucky-dip read for opening at any page to see what's there, as a book to enjoy chapter by chapter, and as a reference tool also.
