More About This Book

Overview

The exploration of the elements continues! Theodore Gray's Elements Vault builds on Gray's best-selling book with all new text, plus removable historic letters and other artifacts and collectible samples of real elements

The Elements Vault picks up where The Elements left off. Organized into the nine major groups of the periodic table, including the alkali metals, the alkali earth metals, the transition metals, the nonmetals, the metalloids, the halogens, the noble gases, the actinides, and the lanthanides, Elements Vault includes all new text, new photographs, and even more information about the elements.

Elements Vault also includes 20 removable historic documents related to the elements and the 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, Mendeleev's original notes on the periodic table, and more. Each of these documents is individually packaged in an envelope attached to the book page. The document can be removed and handled and then put back into the book for safekeeping. Also here is a gorgeous 20" x 10" poster of the unique rainbow spectrum emitted by each element in the periodic table.

Also included inside the book are real samples of pure elements!

Filled with Theo Gray's and Nick Mann's trademark stunning photography throughout, Elements Vault is the perfect addition to Gray's growing series of all-things-elements.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble

In addition to possessing one of the longest subtitles in recent memory, this "elements vault" builds on Theodore Gray's brisk-selling The Elements. With more 320,000 copies in print (not to mention 185,000 copies sold of The Elements for iPad), that imaginative package qualifies as a bona fide science bestseller. The Elements Vault lives up to its almost breathless cover claims. Well-organized with an all new text, 20 removable historical documents, 250 stunning full-color photographs, and five pure elements; a gift crying for a recipient.
