5.0 out of 5 stars Great Reference for Chemists or Chemistry Teachers
This is the book that I tell my students is my "bible." I use it in class in and in the preparation of my exams. The information in it is well organized and as up-to-date at it can be for the subject matter. Some of the "elements" are not there but that is because they were discovered after the publication date. I highly recommend this book to my...

2.0 out of 5 stars plain collection of data
I bought this book not realizing that is nothing more that two sheets for each element, collecting useful, but quite easily found data. Do not expect any written text. In the internet era, just look at the NIST site, I hardly see the need of such compilation.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Chemical Elements That Make Up The World, December 14, 2004
By 
G. Reid (Roseland, NJ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Elements (Oxford Chemistry Guides) (Paperback)
For the first time all the key facts about the 100 or so elements that make up the world. Easy-to-use in about 300 pages. This is the best book of this type that I have ever seen. "The Elements" is a handy reference for chemistry students and teachers and for the lay person who wants to learn more. You will learn the history and structure of each element and much more.
