5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent primer for those interested in Science/Chemistry,
By jfabiano@vninet.com (Atlanta, GA.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Building Blocks of the Universe (Hardcover)
This book brings the elements of the periodic table into focus as a part of everyday life. It explains their uses, properties, interesting facts, and origins. Inorganic chemistry is explained plainly and in extremely understandable terms. I found the book to be especially useful for young people in middle and high school starting chemistry studies or who are having difficulties with the subject.

I Still Remember,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Building Blocks of the Universe (Hardcover)
I read this book when I was about 7 years old. I read many many books, but this is the only one I remember specifically from that early time. That was before I knew who Asimov was, or that he was to become my favorite writer as a teenager.
Over 30 years later, I still remember this book as being an introduction to elements and the periodic table. I can still picture the chapter-head illustrations and the explaination of how everything in one column is basically the same. I suppose it had an effect on my learning about the world from the get-go. After all, I remember details about =this= book, out of the hundreds that formed my knowledge of science and the universe. Asimov speaks to his readers. If you get anything out of his short essays, imagine a book-length treatment.

Super book. A must read for anyone interested in the elements,
This review is from: Building Blocks of the Universe (Mass Market Paperback)
Asimov presents not just the interesting technical aspects of each element, but also its history and context. Highly recommended.
