Book ID/图书代码: 01899011B44969
English Summary/英文概要: Organized into the nine major groups of the periodic table including the alkali metals, the alkali earth metals, the transition metals, the metals, the non-metals, the metalloids, the halogens, the noble gases, the actinides and the lanthanides, Theodore Gray’s Elements Vault picks up where The Elements left off and includes all new stories and even more information about the characteristics of each of these groups.
In the tradition of bestselling “vault” books such as The Obama Vault and Greetings from E Street: The Story of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Elements Vault includes 20 historic facsimile documents related to the elements and the fascinating field of chemistry, such as Einstein’s famous letter to Roosevelt explaining the potential of uranium for use in nuclear weapons, a genuine advertisement for lithium-laced 7Up soda, and much more. Documents are packaged in envelopes throughout the book and can be easily removed and put back in place.
Also included are real samples of pure elements including gold, silicon, boron, promethium, and zirconium.
