Schmiermund's The Discovery of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements

Torsten Schmiermund's book: The Discovery of the Periodic Table of Chemical Elements (Springer, in German)

Google Translate:

150 years ago, in 1869, D. I. Mendeleev and L. Meyer independently published their ideas on the arrangement of the chemical elements in a periodic system. The United Nations and UNESCO therefore declared 2019 the "International Year of the Periodic Table". The question arises what is so special about this "simple table". Embark on a short journey into the history of the periodic table with the author. Get to know its predecessors and see how the Periodic Table of the Elements has evolved over the years. Discover the periodic properties of the elements. Find out what makes the periodic table so interesting and timeless, and see what other ideas there are and have been.

The author, Torsten Schmiermund has worked as a chemical engineer in the chemical industry for many years.
