these works provides a comprehensive, yet easy-to-read overview for its
particular chemical element or series (as in Lanthanides). The explanations are
succinct and clear, without being oversimplified, and the layout is
attractive."

[Arsenic]-"This book
and others in the Elements series are most appropriately used as reference
material to supplement the science curriculum at the junior high school level.
The book is also very useful as a source of information about the element of
arsenic for a general audience. I recommend it highly for school and public
libraries."
