Book Reading Update - Searching for a Follow-Up Book

After finishing the Fontana History of Chemistry, I am in search of the next book.  This next book can either be a more focused treatment of a particular section of the history of chemistry or the history of a particular field.  In my search, I have not found anything suitable which makes me think that there might be a dearth out there of this genre of chemistry history books.  In particular, while there were a few books on the periodic table of the elements, I was not able to find a book which focuses solely on an account of the discovery of each element.  All I found was this wikipedia page sourced from a Princeton University website:

In my reading of the Fontana History of Chemistry book, I got interested in perhaps reading some of the seminal textbooks by Linus Pauling:

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics with Applications to Chemistry
General Chemistry
The Nature of the Chemical Bond and the Structure of Molecules and Crystals: An Introduction to Modern Structural Chemistry

After perusing his General Chemistry textbook, I was quickly engaged in the clarity and rawness of the writing in that he precisely defined many terms that chemists bandy about cavalierly (e.g. matter versus material versus substance).  He also starts of with some historical background for the theory (and how tit was formulated and how it evolved) which may be helpful to having a deeper understanding.  This may not be an appropriate text for today's General Chemistry first year student due to the depth with which some topics are covered and outdated probably in terms of current chemistry knowledge and technologies but I think it might serve well as good reference text for an instructor.

Other books of interest I found through my research include:
The Quantum Moment | W. W. Norton & Company
Rare: The High-Stakes Race to Satisfy Our Need for the Scarcest Metals on Earth : Prometheus Books
