Описание:
This book was assigned as a summer project for my honors chemistry class, so I obviously had low expectations for it. I was pleasantly surprised. The book was actually quite enjoyable to read which, in turn, helped greatly in understanding periodicity. The title makes the book sound lame, but the author conveys a great and abstract knowledge of the periodic table through a metaphor - without making the reader feel like a small child. Albeit, I may be biased by my fondness for creative vocabulary which this book contains in abundance, so do not be surprised if it has you reaching for the dictionary a few times. All in all, this book is only among a few educational books I am not ashamed to recommend to people: I see that as a definition for success.Похожие книги
