The periodic table : its story and its significance
Scerri (Univ. of California, Los Angeles) has written a scholarly, thought-provoking book about the history and impact of the periodic table of the elements. A central premise is that the creation of the periodic table was not strictly a "eureka" moment, but rather the evolution of many thoughts and ideas that continues even today.
