Le tableau périodique des éléments, initialement établi pour 63 éléments par Mendeleiev en 1869, est un monstre sacré pour le chimiste et une souffrance pour l’étudiant moyen. Ce monstre qui contient 118 éléments dans sa forme standard à la fin 2015 est apprivoisé par l’auteur en reliant des éléments choisis à des événements qui ont laissé des empreintes chimiques dans l’histoire, la littérature ou le cinéma. De l’acier dans lequel étaient forgées les lames des Sarrasins à la pollution au chrome dénoncée par Erin Brokovich, en passant par la mise en doute de la responsabilité des boutons d’uniforme en étain dans la déroute que fut la retraite de Russie, Lars Öhrström a choisi un angle original pour mêler des concepts basiques de chimie à l’histoire des éléments chimiques en y invitant des personnages clés qui ont directement ou indirectement participé à cette histoire. La volontaire simplicité des concepts purement chimiques de cet ouvrage rend sa lecture accessible à tous ceux qui voudront savoir par exemple comment un simple dissolvant pour vernis à ongles a pu jouer un rôle primordial durant la Première Guerre mondiale ou pourquoi Manhattan appartient maintenant aux États-Unis.

'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.

The book is an entertaining collection of poems and surprising facts about the chemical elements that make up our world. The poems are a launching point for a guided tour of the elements filled with fascinating scientific trivia. For instance : Antimony, used to treat constipation in the Middle Ages, may have killed Mozart ; There's arsenic in your prawns! (But don't worry, it won't harm you.) ; Erbium is used to "dope" optical fiber amplifiers that make your YouTube videos download faster ; Iridium was key to the meteor theory of why dinosaurs went extinct ; You'll find potassium in both bananas and gunpowder ; Sulfur plays a role in whether your hair is curly or straight

Early Responses to the Periodic System is a collection of comparative studies on the reception, response, and appropriation of the periodic system of elements. This book examines the history of pedagogy and popularization in scientific communities, educational sectors, and popular culture from the 1870s to the 1920s. Fifteen historians of science explore eleven countries (and one region) central to chemical research, including Russia, Germany, the Czech lands, and Japan, one of the few nation-states outside the Western world to participate in nineteenth century scientific research.
