Knowledge does not arrive fully formed, it requires many minds to puzzle over the evidence. Jackson tracks the history of the periodic table, a powerful yet elegant tool that lays bare the building blocks of the universe. The 12-page foldout timeline sets the saga of the periodic table against the backdrop of world history.
