A lovely book, really a must-have, but overwhelming. When I first got it I quickly discovered that it's too hard to leaf through; so I decided to read one page per day - and so I did, but still, too much.But I just discovered the perfect way to read it! Grab yourself a copy of [b:The Disappearing Spoon 9413837 The Disappearing Spoon And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements Sam Kean https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1344269291l/9413837.SY75.jpg 8246153], a delicious fun and unique journey through the periodic table. As you read each chapter, refer to The Elements for pictures and other information; and orient yourself using the beautiful periodic table centerfold I mean poster in back. It's still overwhelming, and much more than I'll ever be able to remember, but it sure was satisfying to use it this way!
