The highly-anticipated paperback edition of The Elements | |
is finally available. | |
An eye-opening, original collection of gorgeous, never- | |
before-seen photographic representations of the 118 | |
elements in the periodic table. | |
The elements are what we, and everything around us, are | |
made of. But how many elements has anyone actually seen | |
in pure, uncombined form? The Elements provides this rare | |
opportunity. Based on seven years of research and | |
photography, the pictures in this book make up the most | |
complete, and visually arresting, representation | |
available to the naked eye of every atom in the universe. | |
Organized in order of appearance on the periodic table, | |
each element is represented by a spread that includes a | |
stunning, full-page, full-color photograph that most | |
closely represents it in its purest form. For example, at | |
-183 C, oxygen turns from a colorless gas to a beautiful | |
pale blue liquid. | |
Also included are fascinating facts, figures, and stories | |
of the elements as well as data on the properties of | |
each, including atomic weight, density, melting and | |
boiling point, valence, electronegativity, and the year | |
and location in which it was discovered. Several | |
additional photographs show each element in slightly | |
altered forms or as used in various practical ways. The | |
elements position on the periodic table is pinpointed on | |
a mini rendering of the table and an illustrated scale of | |
the elements boiling and/or melting points appears on | |
each page along with a density scale that runs along the | |
bottom. | |
Packed with interesting information, this combination of | |
solid science and stunning artistic photographs is the | |
perfect gift book for every sentient creature in the | |
universe. | |
