The Periodic Table: A Very Short IntroductionThe periodic table of elements, first encountered by many of us at school, provides an arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, and divided into periodic trends. In this Very Short Introduction Eric Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the table, and shows how the deeper meaning of the table's structure gradually
The periodic table of elements, first encountered by many of us at school, provides an arrangement of the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties, and divided into periodic trends. In this Very Short Introduction Eric Scerri looks at the trends in properties of elements that led to the construction of the table, and shows how the deeper meaning of the table's structure gradually became apparent with the development of atomic theory and, in particular, quantum mechanics, which underlies the behaviour of all of the elements and their compounds. This new edition, publishing in the International Year of the Periodic Table, celebrates the completion of the seventh period of the table, with the ratification and naming of elements 113, 115, 117, and 118 as nihonium, moscovium, tennessine, and oganesson. Eric Scerri also incorporates new material on recent advances in our understanding of the origin of the elements, as well as developments concerning group three of the periodic table.

Practical, stylish organizer with great storage capacity
Color: White, Size: 9.3 D x 19.5 W x 41.8 H in
I bought this 7-cube organizer shelf and I really love it. It’s perfect for organizing beauty products, hair care, or any items at home.
It has great storage capacity—I was able to fit multiple shampoos, treatments, and products easily, and everything stays visible and organized. The design is simple but modern, so it looks good in any space.
Assembly was easy, and the material feels sturdy for everyday use. It’s ideal for personal use, small businesses, or content creation.
Definitely a great option if you’re looking to stay organized in a practical and aesthetic way. I would buy it again.

Great for classroom organization
Color: White, Size: 9.3 D x 19.5 W x 41.8 H in, Color: White, Size: 9.3 D x 19.5 W x 41.8 H in
These shelves are perfect for organizing my classroom library. The cubes are a little smaller than I expected, so they don’t fit larger picture books well. I was able to make it work by using bins inside the cubes and slanting the bigger books, but just know it’s best for regular-sized books. Since they’re a bit shorter, I stacked two together and it gave me the height I needed.
Overall, they look great, were easy to set up, and hold a lot of books in an organized way. My students can easily find what they need, and I really like the clean, simple style.

Great for the Price
Color: White, Size: 9.25"D x 19.49"W x 31.5"H, Color: White, Size: 9.25"D x 19.49"W x 31.5"H
I needed a cheap little bookshelf for this small play area. The shelf was relatively easy to assemble by myself, and it's sturdy enough to stand on carpeted flooring. I didn't bother installing the safety wall mount because I live in a rental and I can't screw things into the walls. The bookshelf is too small for standard storage cubes, so I purchased a couple of 9-inch cubes from the Dollar Tree and they fit just fine. I might rearrange the contents later.
