Explains why you should never say you don't want chemicals in your food

 Elemental
How the Periodic Table Can Now Explain (Nearly) Everything
Tim James

Fascinating and funny book about the periodic table, its history and development, and then some of the characteristics of the elements it displays. The only complaint I have is that I wish it had been twice as long--I was enjoying it so much. And the jokes he slips in are great.

Not much to say--it's chatty and easy to enjoy, but not at all trivialized or light in its content. That content is all science.  Delightful!
