From Arsenic to Zirconium

Dr. Peter Davern is a lecturer in the Department of Chemical Sciences at the University of Limerick, Ireland. He has been fascinated by the periodic table- its form, layout, the repeating patterns of chemical properties among groups of elements. Davern has spent the last 5 years researching interesting and useful properties about the elements and then transforming them into a collection of short, easy-to-remember poems.

"Delightful poems about the chemical elements that inhabit the periodic table"-- Dr. Eric Scerri, UCLA and author of The Periodic Table: Its Story and its Significance "An extraordinary book"-- Sir Martyn Poliakoff, University of Nottingham and Co-Presenter of The Periodic Table of Videos
