About this product

Product Information

The Elements has become an international sensation, with over one million copies in-print worldwide. 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!

A keeper
The photos are beautiful and the text gives bites of information that are easy to read in short sittings. We homeschool, and although my child hasn't gravitated to the book and read it on her own, I still use 3 of Theo Gray's books (this one, plus "Molecules" and " Reactions ") in two ways: I read some of the funny and/or clear explanations, or use the wonderful illustrations, as a supplement to my child's 7th-grade science textbook; and I will read parts of them out loud as evening reading, since some of the text conveys the pure beauty and wonder of chemistry. The indexes are good, so I've been able to go back and find the excerpts I'm looking for.

He's got great Chemistry!
Photos are absolutely amazing! Text is fun and informative; Gray has done a good job of making chemistry appealing to a broad audience. I bought this book for my 10 year old son who has just gotten really curious about chemistry. The beginning of the book was a REALLY great introduction to the periodic table for him (and a great refresher for anyone else), especially since it is nicely color-coded and the information is presented in a concise, understandable manner. Beyond that, each element is showcased on a double page spread with examples of how it is relevant in our lives. We're glad Gray decided to share his knowledge and passion for chemistry!
