Since its first publication in 1995, the 『Science Masters』 series has been translated and published in 26 countries around the world. It is a world-renowned science textbook series that introduces hotly debated topics in the scientific community and core knowledge of basic science, from astronomy, which deals with the macrocosm, to brain science, which delves into the core of the microcosm called human beings, in an easy-to-understand manner. About 20 scientists who are not awkwardly called masters, meaning experts or virtuosos, have put their passion and teachings into this series.


"The Periodic Kingdom" reveals the many secrets of the elemental kingdom hidden within the seemingly dry periodic table.
This book, published in Korea in 1996, is a classic and must-read chemistry textbook that inspired middle and high school students interested in chemistry and college students new to chemistry to dream of becoming chemists.


The periodic table contains all the basic elements of chemistry.
The fundamental principles that run through the periodic table, the history of its formation, and scientific information about the internal structure of the elements are combined with fascinating analogies to make it easy and accurate to understand.
It's fantastic how difficult chemical concepts like atomic weight, atomic diameter, valence, transition metals, and noble gases are transformed into words like isthmus, strait, territory, and mountain range, and how quantum mechanics, the fundamental principles of atoms, are transformed into everyday words like laws, institutions, and administration of a kingdom.
A journey that crosses the globe from molecules to atoms, from atoms to subatomic particles, and then to stars, galaxies, and the universe will be more than enough to awaken the joy of chemistry.
