Mendeleev to Oganesson by Eric Scerri
Since 1969, the international chemistry community has only held conferences on the topic of the Periodic Table three times, and the 2012 conference in Cusco, Peru was the first in almost a decade. The conference was highly interdisciplinary, featuring papers on geology, physics, mathematical and theoretical chemistry, the history and philosophy of chemistry, and chemical education, from the most reputable Periodic Table scholars across the world. Eric Scerri and Guillermo Restrepo have collected fifteen of the strongest papers presented at this conference, from the most notable Periodic Table scholars. The collected volume will contain pieces on chemistry, philosophy of science, applied mathematics, and science education.
The volume, edited by Eric Scerri and Guillermo Restrepo – both renowned experts on the philosophical questions related to the periodic system – will cement OUP's reputation as one of the most fruitful publishers of scholarship on the periodic tableThe book comprises fifteen chapters which approach the subject from a commendable range of angles, so the volume delivers what its title promises. * Karoliina Pulkkinen, University of Cambridge, Ambix *
