    Who said chemistry had to be boring?  (I'm sure no one has ever said this, but someone sure forgot to tell my
    science teacher!)  Basher and Adrian Dingle have come together to create an entertaining and valuable resource for
    students with their version of the 111 elements.

    Whether you're studying chemistry in school right now or not, you're sure to get a kick out of the full-color
    illustrations inside the pages of this book.  Plus, you might actually learn something, as each element is fully
    described in detail:  the name, its symbol, its atomic number, its atomic weight, its color, its standard state, and its
    classification.

    The elements are also broken down into eleven separate categories, including the Alkali Metals, the Transition
    Elements, the Boron Elements, the Carbon Elements, the Nitrogen Elements, the Oxygen Elements, the Halogen
    Elements, the Noble Gases, the Lanthanides and Actinides, and the Transactinides.

    This is the perfect, easy-to-use reference guide for people of all ages, and the included poster can easily be used for
    an educating, stylish decorating tool.  Who knew the elements could be so interesting??
