Many popular science titles tend to tell the \u003ci\u003ehistory\u003c\/i\u003e of scientific developments, leaving the actual science largely unexplained; James, however, makes use of stories to explain the \u003ci\u003eprinciples of chemistry \u003c\/i\u003ewithin the table, showing its relevance to everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuirkily illustrated and filled with humour, this is the perfect book for students wanting to learn chemistry or for parents wanting to help, but it is also for \u003ci\u003eanyone\u003c\/i\u003e who wants to understand how our world works at a fundamental level. The periodic table, that abstract and seemingly jumbled graphic, holds (nearly) all the answers.    \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs James puts it, elements are 'the building blocks nature uses for cosmic cookery: the purest substances making up everything from beetroot to bicycles.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you're studying the periodic table for the first time or are simply interested in the fundamental building blocks of the universe - from the core of the sun to the networks in our brains - \u003ci\u003eElemental\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect guide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWebsite: timjamesscience.com YouTube: timjamesScience Twitter: @tjamesScience\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxfordbookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44786652381363,"sku":"9781472140944","price":399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/4164\/4723\/files\/blk_imp_17477294389781472140944.jpg?v=1762805371","url":"https:\/\/oxfordbookstore.com\/products\/elemental","provider":"Oxfordbookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
