This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the periodic table and the elements that constitute the fundamental building blocks of the universe. Authored by Dr. Rose A. Clark and Dr. Edward P. Zovinka, both professors of chemistry, the book delves into the history, properties, and applications of each of the 118 known elements. It explains atomic structure, the significance of atomic numbers, and the characteristics of different element groups. The book aims to enhance understanding of how elements are made in stars and their crucial roles in both living organisms and non-living materials. Targeted at students and enthusiasts of chemistry, it serves as an educational resource to deepen knowledge about the elements and their importance in everyday life.

'A World From Dust' describes how a set of chemical rules combined with the principles of evolution in order to create an environment in which life as we know it could unfold. With simple mathematics, these predictable rules led to the advent of the planet itself, as well as cells, organs and organelles, ecosystems, and increasingly complex life forms. It provides an accessible discussion of a geological history as well, describing how the inorganic matter on Earth underwent chemical reactions with air and water, allowing for life to emerge from the world's first rocks.

Since 1969, the international chemistry community has only held conferences on the topic of the Periodic Table three times, and the 2012 conference in Cusco, Peru was the first in almost a decade. The conference was highly interdisciplinary, featuring papers on geology, physics, mathematical and theoretical chemistry, the history and philosophy of chemistry, and chemical education, from the most reputable Periodic Table scholars across the world. Eric Scerri and Guillermo Restrepo have collected 15 of the strongest papers presented at this conference, from the most notable Periodic Table scholars. The collected volume contains pieces on chemistry, philosophy of science, applied mathematics, and science education.

The periodic table is one of the most potent icons in science. It lies at the core of chemistry and embodies the most fundamental principles of the field. The one definitive text on the development of the periodic table by van Spronsen (1969), has been out of print for a considerable time. The present book provides a successor to van Spronsen, but goes further in giving an evaluation of the extent to which modern physics has, or has not, explained the periodic system. The book is written in a lively style to appeal to experts and interested lay-persons alike.
