(3) 4-6 Breakthroughs in Science and Technology series. Clearly and substantively, these books trace the development of the periodic table and fission from the time of the ancient Greeks through the present day. Although each spread addresses a subtopic, the texts read smoothly; the many sidebars, photos, and biographical sketches are well integrated. In both volumes, the answer to the title question is, of course, many different people--increasingly, in collaboration. Reading list, websites. Glos, ind. Review covers these Breakthroughs in Science and Technology titles: Who Split the Atom? and Who Invented the Periodic Table?
