The Elements: An Interactive Guide to the Building Blocks of our Universe is an illustrated reference book to the elements that make up everything in our universe. General information about the properties, behaviour and occurrence of the elements, their main compounds and their principal uses is given. It is authoritative and accessible, with a sense of wonder about the way the material world works, thanks to the protons, neutrons and electrons that make up the atoms of the elements.

From hydrogen to ununoctium, this accessible guide explores the properties of each element in the periodic table, explaining their chemical behaviours - how their atoms interact with atoms of other elements - and their worldly uses: from light bulbs and mobile phones to dental fillings and space suits. The introduction, which explains the chemistry and physics of nuclei, electrons and chemical bonds, provides the groundwork for understanding the entries and their data.
