The Secret Lives of the Elements

Written in fifty-two short chapters, this book is easy to pick up and put down. There’s a fascinating story to each of the elements covered, I loved the chapter on arsenic!The book is beautifully illustrated and would make a wonderful gift for anyone particularly for those with a science background.

Entertaining, well written and full of interesting facts.

Was expecting some lesser known facts, but little added of interest. Quite a lot of 'padding'- repetition of already stated information. Disappointing and did not live up to expectations raised following an informative and enjoyable presentation re A for Arsenic.

Cover scruffy, torn and dirty, general tatty appearance supposed to be new. Appalling
