内容简介 Designed to make learning chemistry much easier and a whole lot more fun, these elements show you the periodic table as you have never seen it before. Every element in this engaging little book is a specially created character with its own unique personality.
作者简介 High school chemistry teacher Adrian Dingle is the creator of an award-winning chemistry website (www.adriandinglechemistrypages.com). The site has been recommended by the BBC and the National Science Teachers Association. Dr Mark Winter, acclaimed creator of www.webelements.com, is the consultant. ILLUSTRATOR Artist and designer Simon Basher has fun playing in the world of contemporary character design. Inspired by a love of simple line work and a rich colour palette, his characters fill the gap between edgy Manga and the cuteness of Hello Kitty!

专业书评 From Booklist The scope and qualities of this unique book are summed up better in its subtitle than in its title. While Dingle does little to explain the periodic table, he shows all the elements of the periodic table on a chart with very original graphics and spotlights 64 of the elements for closer examination on single pages or double-page spreads. Placed against a list including an element's symbol, atomic number, atomic weight, color, standard state, and classification, the element introduces itself in one, two, or three cheeky but informative paragraphs that focus on its qualities and uses. Each presentation ends with the element's date of discovery or earliest known use, its density, its melting point, its boiling point, and a digitally assisted color illustration with a distinctively Japanese, cartoonlike quality. The endpapers feature a glossary and an illustrated foldout poster of the periodic table. The quirky, idiosyncratic artwork and the unusual voice make this little book an appealing choice for introducing elements of the periodic table. Phelan, Carolyn
