“The Periodic Kingdom is a journey of imagination in which Peter Atkins treats the periodic table of elements – the 109 chemical elements in the world, from which everything is made – as a country, a periodic kingdom, each region of which corresponds to an element.
Arranged much like a travel guide, the book introduces the reader to the general features of the table, the history of the elements, and the underlying arrangement of the table in terms of the structure and properties of atoms”
