"The Elements"has become an international sensation, with over
one million copies in-print worldwide.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 element's position on the periodic
table is pinpointed on a mini rendering of the table and an
illustrated scale of the element's 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.Includes a
tear-out poster of Theodore Gray's iconic Photographic Periodic
Table "
