Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe

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, told in Theo Grays inimitable style, 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.

This work of solid science and stunning artistic photographs is the perfect gift book for every sentient creature in the universe.
