In Volume III Chapter 2 Section 2 Quantum Physics, I believe I have noticed a grammar mistake. The fourth paragraph from the bottom contains:
"The subsequent discovery of those elements granted scientific legitimacy to Mendeleev's hypothesis, further discoveries leading to the form of the periodic table we use today."

I think that "further" should be "furthering".

Thanks for the suggestions. A further correction could be along the lines of:

"The subsequent discovery of those elements granted scientific legitimacy to Mendeleev's hypothesis, furthering future discoveries, and leading to the form of the periodic table we use today."

i dont agree with this "correction". The right word is further not furthering
