Title: Slap Dash
Product review: Mendeleyev's Dream continues a disturbing recent phenomenon post Sobel's "Logitude" of apparently hurriedly pulled together science history books.Catch phrases like "must have seen" or "surely would have felt" are evidence of hasty writing substituing for solid research. One last bug: what is it with publishers these days? So many travelogues without maps...and here an entire book essentially about the construction of the periodic table...with no periodic table? A little more care and preparation would help.
