### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    The Table, its relationships. More than the individual elements
  

*by W***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2011*

This is a really interesting look at the *system* of the elements, more than just a bestiary of elements (nothing wrong with that, but this is a different book). The relationships and overarching structure are the subject of "The Periodic Kingdom". To make the points clear, the author describes the table as a landscape, a geography.There are quite helpful graphics in Periodic Kingdom, mostly 3d charts with x and y being the familiar Periodic Table and the height showing size or ionization energy, or mass or density or some other physical property of an element. The 3d Periodic Tables are shown from different angles to make the points clear.Useful stuff- the size of an atom, (the "diameter" around the 99% probability surface of the electron orbitals) increases as you go down the rows of the table, but also rises at the midpoint, near where the Transition Metals meet what this author calls the Eastern Island- adding electrons to the shells generally increases size but adding protons to the nucleus pulls in the orbitals. Those in the right hand side of the Transition Metals in each row are larger than the Alkali Metals as the left-most edge of their row AND larger than the Noble Gasses on the right-most edge. Surprise- Uranium is not the largest. Too many protons in the nucleus.The writing is good enough to read out loud, and the thinking is clear. Anyone coming to the subject from a chemistry, physics or general science background will learn something and have a good time doing it.

    Better than I Expected
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2010*

This book was assigned as a summer project for my honors chemistry class, so I obviously had low expectations for it. I was pleasantly surprised. The book was actually quite enjoyable to read which, in turn, helped greatly in understanding periodicity. The title makes the book sound lame, but the author conveys a great and abstract knowledge of the periodic table through a metaphor - without making the reader feel like a small child. Albeit, I may be biased by my fondness for creative vocabulary which this book contains in abundance, so do not be surprised if it has you reaching for the dictionary a few times. All in all, this book is only among a few educational books I am not ashamed to recommend to people: I see that as a definition for success.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars

An interesting and accurate book. I personally didn't care for the mode of delivery, I thought the analogy was stretched too far.
