Discovery of the Elements

Collected reprints of a series of articles published in the Journal of Chemical Education. The story of the disclosure of the chemical elements, one by one, had never before been told in a connected manner. The author hopes that this volume renders a tribute to the honored men and women who helped reveal the hidden chemical elements and to acquaint chemists and others with these great achievements. She attempts to relate all the important steps in the discovery of the chemical elements as fairly and completely as possible. Illustrated throughout.
