The Periodic Table and a Missed Nobel Prize

Autor Ulf Lagerkvist
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 aug 2012
When Alfred Nobel in his will made the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences the custodian of the Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry, the evaluation of the candidates for the prizes sometimes led to strong differences of opinion within the Academy. This book deals with such a case - Dmitri Mendeleev and his Periodic Law.
