Elements Ball Philip
This book offers a largely chronological illustrated guide to how the chemical elements were discovered over the past three millennia. The closest comparison is Theodore Gray’s illustrated book The Elements - but this does not take a historical approach as this does here. It provides a view not just of how we came to understand what everything is made of but also of how chemistry developed from a trial-and-error craft of making and transforming substances into a rational modern science that provides us with new materials, drugs, and much else.While other books have described the properties of the chemical elements and often delved into their histories, none has done so in this highly visual manner.
Included are short 'interludes' (or 'feature spreads') presenting important intellectual milestones in how we think about elements. The pictorial material for this subject is very rich, including some gorgeous alchemical documents as well as portraits, colour charts, woodcuts of mining, artefacts such as John Dalton’s wooden balls, advertisements (for example, for radium 'cures') and postage stamps.The book contains separate short sections for each element or groups of related elements, which are gathered into several sections to order the sequence into several chronological eras of element discovery.
