This book surveys the main mathematical ideas and techniques behind some well-established imaging modalities such as X-ray CT and emission tomography, as well as a variety of newly developing coupled-physics or hybrid techniques, including thermoacoustic tomography. The Radon Tr…
Hermann Sicius bringt dem Leser in knapper Form alle wichtigen Informationen rund um die Halogene nahe, die eine der chemisch reaktivsten Gruppen von Elementen sind. Die Halogene sind teils schon lange bekannt, werden in sehr vielen Anwendungen eingesetzt und zeigen eine vor all…
Primo Levi's memoir of his Jewish family, life as a Jew, and being a chemist.
Presented with a color-coded system for easily navigating the different groups of elements, provides information on the characteristics and uses of the one hundred eighteen elements that make up the Periodic Table.
Presented with a color-coded system for easily navigating the different groups of elements, this extraordinary combination of amazing science and stunning photography tells the story and uses of the 118 elements that make up the Periodic Table.

As one of the most recognizable images in science, the periodic table is ingrained in our culture. First drawn up in 1869 by Dmitri Mendeleev, its 118 elements make up not only everything on our planet but also everything in the entire universe. The Periodic Table looks at the f…
The Periodic Table of Elements hasn''t always looked like it does now, a well-organized chart arranged by atomic number. In the mid-nineteenth century, chemists were of the belief that the elements should be sorted by atomic weight. However, the weights of many elements were cal…
Throughout its formation, the periodic table has seen false entries, good-faith errors, retractions, and dead ends; in fact, there have been more elemental 'discoveries' that have proven false than there are current elements on the table. This book collects the most notable of t…
"The Lost Elements tells stories of errors and mistakes in the development of the Periodic Table of Elements, from its conception to the present. Covers topics like false discoveries, scientific retractions, and elements removed from the Table."
