For most of history, "elements" meant earth, water, fire, air. The chemical revolution gave that scheme a final shove — and three thinkers laid the groundwork. Key sections include: THE PERIODIC TABLE /; Before the table: scattered clues; Mendeleev arranges the elements; The gaps filled themselves; Moseley fixes the order: atomic number; Periods and groups: rows and columns mean things; Reading an element tile; The colored families of matter; The bottom drawers: f-block exiles; The transuranics: elements made by hand.

Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist, noticed that the coastlines of South America and Africa fit like puzzle pieces. Matching fossils, glacial deposits, and rock formations on opposite Atlantic shores convinced him: continents move . Key sections include: PLATE TECTONICS; Wegener, 1912; Magnetic stripes, 1960s; The Grand Synthesis, 1967-68; The Plates; Boundaries; Subduction; Collision; Hotspots; Earthquakes.
