What materials is our world made of? A fundamental question, a highly skilled author, and two virtues rather unusual in the history of chemistry: clarity and enjoyable reading. The combination of these is explosive: a book that has revived chemical scientists and - flesh and blood - puts them parading before the reader's eyes.
Reading the work The Dream of Mendeleev is pure delight! It is a truly penetrating description of the development of chemistry through the ages, as well as the way in which man's greed and the quest for personal glory have, in many cases, led to significant strides in progress for the entire world.
The Dream of Mendeleev is a marvelous journey from alchemy to chemistry through the search for chemical elements in our universe. It is a journey of both "recreation" and reflection, through a book characterized by clarity and slowness.
