The Elements by Theodore Gray

With more than 1 million copies sold worldwide, The Elements is the most entertaining, comprehensive, and visually arresting book on all 118 elements in the periodic table.

Includes a poster of Theodore Gray's iconic photographic periodic table of the elements

Based on seven years of research and photography by Theodore Gray and Nick Mann, The Elements presents the most complete and visually arresting representation available to the naked eye of every 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, 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 of solid science and stunning artistic photographs is the perfect gift book for every sentient creature in the universe.

The Elements, Molecules, and Reactions, as well as Theodore Gray's Totally Crazy Science, are written by Theodore Gray. He is the inventor of the bestselling iPad apps Elements and Molecules, both of which were chosen Apple's App of the Week, and was the Director of Disney Animated (which was also named iPad App of the Year by Apple). Gray made multiple appearances on stage with Steve Jobs as a software developer. He was also a co-founder of Wolfram Research, Inc., which produces the popular Mathematica program and the Wolfram Alpha website. He currently resides in Urbana, Illinois.
