For every type of then known atom, Basher has created a "manga-esque" cartoon, and for many types of atoms, Dingle, a high-school chemistry teacher who also developed an award-winning chemistry website has written a couple paragraphs of facts to go with the cartoon. Dingle, who says that "[s]cience is a serious business", wanted in writing the book "to

"Publishers Weekly" said that the book was a "lively introduction to the chart that has been the bane of many a chemistry student", and in a review in "New Scientist", Vivienne Greig called "The Periodic Table" "an engrossing read and an ideal way to painlessly impart a great deal of science history to seen-it-all-before teenagers."
