- Series Description
- Table of Contents
- Considers the fundamental nature of the periodic table to the physical sciences
- Celebrates the completion of the seventh period of the table, with the ratification and naming of elements 113, 115, 117 and 118 as nihonium, moscovium, tennessine and oganesson
- Incorporates new material on recent advances in our understanding of the origin of the elements
- Considers developments since the first edition concerning group three of the periodic table
- Touches on key ideas about both early atomic theory and quantum mechanics, showing how they have proved key to the meaning of the table
- Explores the history of the discovery of trends among elements, the construction of various forms of the table, and the growth of understanding of its meaning
Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects--from Islam to Sociology, Politics to Classics, Literary Theory to History, and Archaeology to the Bible.
Not simply a textbook of definitions, each volume in this series provides trenchant and provocative--yet always balanced and complete--discussions of the central issues in a given discipline or field. Every Very Short Introduction gives a readable evolution of the subject in question, demonstrating how the subject has developed and how it has influenced society. Eventually, the series will encompass every major academic discipline, offering all students an accessible and abundant reference library.
Whatever the area of study that one deems important or appealing, whatever the topic that fascinates the general reader, the Very Short Introductions series has a handy and affordable guide that will likely prove indispensable.
