They are now known as nihonium (Nh), moscovium (Mc), tennessine (Ts) and oganesson (Og), respectively...The Elements Bible introduces a complex subject and also provides insight into the extraordinary underlying stories and facts that you don't normally hear about. Fully illustrated and packed with quirky illustrations, helpful diagrams and historical anecdotes, it is sure to satisfy those seeking to understand the most fundamental ingredients of the universe."--
