Description:
The iconic Periodic Table of the Elements is now in its most satisfyingly elegant form. This is because all the 'gaps' corresponding to missing elements in the seventh row, or period, have recently been filled and the elements named. But where do these names come from? For some, usually the most recent, the origins are quite obvious, but in others - even well-known elements such as oxygen or nitrogen - the roots are less clear. Here, Peter
Wothers explores the fascinating and often surprising stories behind how the chemical elements received their names. Delving back in time to explore the history and gradual development of chemistry, he
sifts through medieval manuscripts for clues to the stories surrounding the discovery of the elements, showing how they were first encountered or created, and how they were used in everyday lives. As he reveals, the oldest-known elements were often associated with astronomical bodies, and connections with the heavens influenced the naming of a number of elements. Following this, a number of elements, including hydrogen and oxygen, were named during the great reform of chemistry, set amidst the
French Revolution. While some of the origins of the names were controversial (and indeed incorrect - some saying, for instance, that oxygen might be literally taken to mean 'the son of a vinegar
merchant'), they have nonetheless influenced language used around the world to this very day. Throughout, Wothers delights in dusting off the original sources, and bringing to light the astonishing, the unusual, and the downright weird origins behind the names of the elements so familiar to us today.

Cheap Quality - 3 MONTH wait for warrantied repair!
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
About 40 days into my purchase, the watch starts doing a complete reset when I try to reset the timer, making me have to reset the date and time again. The Analog watch isn't any more reliable -- sometimes it will just stop temporarily and start again. I'll look at my watch and see the analog time, then realize it's 15 minutes behind actual time. So I called Timex for a warrantied repair. They told me I could send it in and it would take them about 3 MONTHS to repair it and get it back to me. 3 MONTHS, because they have to forward it to the Philippines for repair via the cheapest means possible. That is a ridiculous about of time to wait on a warrantied repair.

Looks great, but has issues
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
Great design, looks fantastic. Doesn't look too large, and the strap can be easily swapped for a nato strap if that's your preference. The negative display is quite readable and the indiglo works beautifully. Unfortunately, like many others, mine was prone to the reset bug. Using the chrono or timer modes would send the watch into a sort of boot loop for several minutes, after which it would be factory reset to 12:00 AM. This bug only seemed to affect the digital display and not the analog hands. If you never used these modes then you'd never have an issue, but these are necessary functions for me so that made the watch a no-go, sadly.

Disappointing in many ways
Color: Black-Red/Digital/Black
Bought this model twice. Digital display failed on both, the first within the return window, the second just after. Timex customer "service" said to ship it back for a repair estimate, pay for the repair, and then it would take up to three months once payment was made. I said thanks, but I'll leave a bad review and get a Casio sooner.
