Abstract
DR. PRAKASH'S book has some unusual features. It deals with the elements in the order of the Periodic System, the inert gases coming first, followed by the metals, and the non-metals come last. This has advantages for a student who has completed an elementary course, since his knowledge of the non-metals is refreshed again after he has dealt with the new material. A special feature of the book is the stress laid on Indian conditions and interests, a good deal of statistical data being incorporated and the native processes and names being given. This part will be quite valuable to readers wishing to know something of chemical technology in India. Extensive use is made of tables summarising information given in the text.
