WORLD OF THE ELEMENTS - HANS-JÜRGEN QUADBECK-SE...

You know that you need oxygen to breathe  that neon can glow and chrome shines? But did you
know that your cell phone contains arsenic  your spectacles contain rhodium and that the tin
pest is not a disease? And can you name just three researchers whom we have to thank for all
these results? Here  Professor Quadbeck-Seeger  a long-serving member of the board at BASF 
goes in search of these and other questions. Based on the periodic table  the key reference
source for any natural scientist  he explains the criteria that define an element's position in
the table and are responsible for its particular characteristics. In a clear and concise manner
he describes for each element the story behind its discovery  its physical and chemical
properties as well as its role in our everyday lives. Enriched by a wealth of interesting
details  this beautifully designed book in full color represents not only varied reading  but
also a treasure trove of surprising facts. Ideally combined with the Historical Periodic Table
poster  this book is aimed at younger audiences and is thus particularly suitable for schools 
lectures and other courses.
