Organized sequentially by atomic number, every element is represented by a big beautiful photograph that most closely represents it in its purest form. Several additional photographs show each element in slightly altered forms or as used in various practical ways. Also included are fascinating stories of the elements, as well as data on the properties of each, including atomic number, atomic symbol, atomic weight, density, atomic radius, as well as scales for electron filling order, state of matter, and an atomic emission spectrum. <p/> This of solid science and stunning artistic photographs is the perfect gift book for every sentient creature in the universe. <p/><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for <i>The Elements</i> <br /><br />"I don't know if this is the first coffee-table book paying lush photographic homage to the periodic table, but it is certainly the most gorgeous one I've seen." --John Tierney, <i>The New York Times </i><br /><br />"The Elements is a loving reimagination of the classic table." --Wired <br /><br />"Gray's trademark dry wit and historical anecdotes bring even the most basic lumps to life." --<i>Popular Science</i> <br /><br />"A great mix of science and art." --<i>Discover</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Theodore Gray</b> is the author of <i>The Elements, Molecules</i>, and <i>Reactions</i>, as well as <i>Theodore Gray's Completely Mad Science</i>.
