Wonderful life with the elements: the periodic table personified 'with poster', hardcover/bunpei yorifuji

From the brilliant mind of Japanese artist Bunpei Yorifuji comes Wonderful Life with the Elements , an illustrated guide to the periodic table that gives chemistry a friendly face.

In this super periodic table, every element is a unique character whose properties are represented visually: heavy elements are fat, man-made elements are robots, and noble gases sport impressive afros.

Every detail is significant, from the length of an elements beard to the clothes on its back.

Youll also learn about each elements discovery, its common uses, and other vital stats like whether it floats--or explodes--in water.

Why bother trudging through a traditional periodic table? In this periodic paradise, the elements are people too.

And once youve met them, youll never forget them.
