This eye-popping encyclopedia takes you on a tour of all the world's elements.

From argon to zinc, each and every one of the 118 chemical elements are explored in dazzling detail. With the periodic table celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2019, you'll be in your element as you discover the incredible variety of building blocks that make up our Universe and learn the remarkable ways we now use them.

More than 1,000 photographs showcase the natural forms of each element and the range of everyday and unusual objects where they can be seen. This helps children understand exactly where the different elements have found their place in the world.

The true science behind the elements is explained in properties, atomic structure, and table position. This essential book turns the tables on traditional reference and presents the periodic table as never before to appeal to school children today.

Praise for The Periodic Table Book

...in this bright, brand-new publication from DK those new to the wonders of chemistry are able to understand it better through the use of clear explanations and thousands of photographs and diagrams, starting with an explanation of just what an element is.

Barbara Braxton, Teacher Librarian, The Bottom Shelf

All in all this is a well presented book that can pull its own weight in the arena of books about the elements, but is also accessible for young and future scientists as well as those of us who have let our knowledge of the periodic table slip a little in the years since school.

Stephanie O'Connell, 100% Rock Magazine

...this book has so many things that you can discover!
