The Last Sorcerers: The Path from Alchemy to the Periodic Table
Richard Morris has done a wonderful job of taking what should be a dry topic and making it very interesting.

Along the way we meet a number of brilliant eccentrics, would be charlatans and an interesting collection of scientists and non-scientists. The chapters are short and punchy. The book flows well.
