The curious lives of elements

Periodic takes is a very interesting book about one man's take on the periodic table of elements. 'The great rift Valley, the field of the cloth of gold, Newton's prism, the Mona Lisa; all impossible without the elements'. This book contains many different stories about the different elements, grounding them into everyday life. It requires little to no scientific knowledge and also includes lots of historical, geographical and cultural context. Personally, I found this book a great read as someone who is about to go to university to study chemistry but I also know of others who have read it and enjoyed it just as much as me.

My favourite avenger returns in a highly enjoyable superior sequel. Marvel has got the formula just right here with a perfect blend of humour and action. The plot isn’t overly complex or requiring you to have an encyclopaedic knowledge of the timeline to enjoy but for those up on everything it does fill in some gaps of events between Infinity War and Endgame. The best thing about the film is of course Paul Rudd and I can’t think of anyone better suited for the role than him, this sequel improves on the original by having bigger roles for both Evangeline Lilly and Michael Douglas . The dynamic they have with Rudd makes for a very entertaining ride.
