Title: Still waiting for a good popular chemistry book
Product review: I love chemistry, particularly the periodic table. However this book was a huge letdown. Whoever suggested it should have been written like a travel guide should be sacked. Instead of being an illuminating analogy it just obscured and annoyed. Phrases such as the 'shoreline of the noble gases was a lost world' just get in the way of very interesting science. Other reviewers have suggested it's a good children's book, but the science master series isn't designed as a childrens series. Others in the series (Diamond's and Margulis's come to mind) have been erudite, clear and interesting even if you have a good working knowledge of the subject. This isn't.
