Before 1789: early errors and early elements -- 1789-1869: from Lavoisier to Mendeleev: the first errors at the dawn of the concept of the chemical element -- 1869-1913: from the periodic table to Moseley's law: rips and tears in Mendeleev's net -- 1914-1939: from nuclear classification to the first accelerators: chemists' paradise lost... (and physicists' paradise regained) -- 1939-present: beyond uranium, to the stars -- Modern alchemy: the dream to transmute the elements has always been with us.
