I used to spend my lunch hours in middle school poring over an old Time/Life book on chemistry; in the middle was a multi-page section with a picture and blurb for every element describing its nature, history, and name. I got to the point where I could call to mind the etymology of any element you cared to name—which Greek myth inspired the name Niobium, for example, or which fivefour elements were named after the town of Ytterby, Sweden.
But they didn't have videos of them all. Not until now.
