Sparks of Life series.
These are comprehensive, informative books about the history (from human discovery on), occurrence, biological importance, preparation, and use of the title elements. The periodic table concept and structure of each of the atoms is covered, so their relation to each other is clear. Well-captioned color photos illustrate the books. Bib., glos., ind.
