A química não é um assunto abstrato que só acontece em laboratórios: ela está em toda parte. E, se você quer entender como o mundo funciona, o segredo está na tabela periódica — é o que Elementar nos mostra. À primeira vista, essa tabela aparentemente hermética, originária do sonho de um grande gênio exausto e ávido por tentar organizar a então recente ciência da química, pode parecer intimidadora.

If you're looking for instructions on how to set up your grandad's telescope this book probably isn't for you. In Astronomical, Tim James takes us on a tour of the known (and unknown) Universe, focusing on the most-mind boggling stuff we've come across, as well as unpacking the latest theories about what's really going on out there.

What is real? In doing this study, I asked God to confirm The Book of Mormon to me. Instead, he started revealing its falsehood to me. When I study the Bible, I go into it with God. When I started my study on The Book of Mormon, I did the same. He began to reveal things to me in all sorts of ways about the book and its author. So, here is the true story of The Book of Mormon.

During all this, the Lord was directing me (most of the time without me realizing it).
