'Fascinating and enjoyable ... enthused with insight' - Brian Cox
Uranium, carbon, iron, titanium, gold, silver and silicon - former
BP CEO John Browne explains how seven elements are shaping the 21st
century, for good and for bad. Humans have put the Earth's
resources to extraordinary use, but not always for the benefit of
humankind. SEVEN ELEMENTS vividly describes how iron, carbon, gold,
silver, uranium, titanium and silicon have shaped the world around
us - for good and for bad. This book takes you on an adventure of
human passion, ingenuity and discovery, but it is a journey that is
far from over: we continue to find surprising new uses for each of
these seven key elements. Discover how titanium pervades modern
consumer society, how natural gas is transforming the global energy
sector and how an innovative new form of carbon could be starting a
technological revolution. SEVEN ELEMENTS is a unique mix of
science, history and politics, interwoven with the author's
extensive personal and professional experience.
