Beschreibung
From the brilliant mind of Japanese artist Bunpei Yorifuji comes Wonderful life with the Elements, an illustrated guide to the periodic tabe that gives chemistry a friendly face. In this super periodic table, every element is a unique character whose properties are represented visually: heavy elements are fat, man-made elements are robots, and noble gases sport impressive afros. Every detail is significant, from the length of an element's beard to the clothes on its back. You'll also learn about each element's discovery, it's common uses, and other vital stats like whether it floats - or explodes - in water. Why bother trudging throught a traditional periodic table? In this periodic paradise, the elements are people too. And once you've met them, you'll never forget them.
