Fifty minerals that changed the course of history is a fascinating
compendium of the metals, rocks, organic minerals, and gems that
have had the greatest impact on the development of human
civilization from prehistory to the present day. Entries range from
gold – the king of metals and the untarnished symbol of wealth,
immortality, and power – to salt, the daily staple that is found in
every kitchen and on every dining table, which, at one time, was
literally worth its weight in gold. Arranged in chronological order
of first use, the entries are judged by their influence in four
categories: commercial, practical, cultural, and scientific.
