“Surprisingly engaging, the periodic table comes alive through historical narrative with the most stimulating science since they let you play with a Bunsen burner. If that doesn’t inspire you to pick up this book, I’d say that lessons can be learned just from Keans’ approach to presenting this collection of anecdotes. Using the periodic table as a frame for stories rich in detail, fact, and drama? That’s thinking outside of the box.” –Alan
