Michael D. Gordin examines the life and intellectual legacy of Dmitrii Mendeleev, the Russian chemist best known for formulating the periodic law. This revised edition situates Mendeleev within the complex political and scientific landscape of nineteenth-century Russia, exploring how his work on the periodic table intersected with his broader interests in industrial policy, spiritualism, and national identity.
