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.

Love the concept, but too loose and gets everywhere
Love the fact that it's made in America, the packaging is nice, and the ingredients are good. With that being said, the product itself isn't set well. You need to be able to put it on without so much going on your lips. Maybe more beeswax...not sure but something to make it go on smooth not gritty and not get all over the place. I tried putting it in the fridge to harden it up with no luck.

Not for me
For me… it was way too greasy,spread on to my face around mouth. But worst of all it gave my lips a slight allergic reaction. I’m a fan of beef tallow I use it frequently but my normal tallow was not in stock so I tried this one. It wasn’t for me unfortunately.

Great product, delivery needs work
Good product, good smell, feels great. However, the tube is much too large -- like the diameter of a quarter. It's way too big to comfortably apply to your lips. I appreciate more product for the money, but I would have preferred a more usable (smaller) size.
