"Most people are familiar with the iconic periodic table, but few of us know just how significant it was in advancing our understanding of the blueprint of the universe. The formulation of the first periodic table, in 1869, revolutionised chemistry. By arranging elements according to their atomic number, patterns were observed that changed the course of scientific history. What was missing was even more significant that what was already there. From the noble gases to radioactive metals, this ... book traces the story of the first table and its astonishing impact."--Back cover.
