Book Description
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.

Book Description
Herausgegeben von der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften Die Corpora der antiken Ärzte (Corpus Medicorum Graecorum, Corpus Medicorum Latinorum) haben die Aufgabe, die erhaltenen Schriften aller griechischen und lateinischen medizinischen Autoren, einschließlich der Fragmente aus nicht vollständig überlieferten Werken, vom 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. bis zum Ausgang der Antike in textkritischen Editionen mit Übersetzungen (wahlweise in Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Italienisch) und erschöpfenden Namen- und Wortverzeichnissen vorzulegen. Die Ausgaben können um Kommentare erweitert sein, die den Text in sachlicher, sprachlicher und textkritischer Hinsicht erschließen. Für die Konstituierung der edierten Texte, die in ihrem Charakter als historisch-kritische Ausgaben zuverlässige Quellen für die Erforschung der Geschichte der antiken Medizin bereitstellen, werden sämtliche bekannten primären und sekundären Überlieferungsträger ausgewertet, was sich zum einen auf die mittelalterlichen Handschriften und die frühen Drucke, zum anderen auf Exzerpte und Übersetzungen in lateinischer, arabischer, hebräischer oder syrischer Sprache bezieht. Die Ausgaben sind so angelegt, dass sie über einen langen Zeitraum hin im internationalen Maßstab die wissenschaftlich maßgebenden Editionen darstellen.

Book Description
From the brilliant mind of Japanese artist Bunpei Yorifuji comes Wonderful Life with the Elements, an illustrated guide to the periodic table that gives chemistry a friendly face. In this super periodic table, every element is a unique character whose properties are represented visually: heavy elements are fat, man-made elements are robots, and noble gases sport impressive afros. Every detail is significant, from the length of an element's beard to the clothes on its back. You'll also learn about each element's discovery, its common uses, and other vital stats like whether it floats—or explodes—in water. Why bother trudging through a traditional periodic table? In this periodic paradise, the elements are people too. And once you've met them, you'll never forget them.

Book Description
Euclid was a mathematician from the Greek city of Alexandria who lived during the 4th and 3rd century B.C. and is often referred to as the "father of geometry." Within his foundational treatise "Elements," Euclid presents the results of earlier mathematicians and includes many of his own theories in a systematic, concise book that utilized a brief set of axioms and meticulous proofs to solidify his deductions. In addition to its easily referenced geometry, "Elements" also includes number theory and other mathematical considerations. For centuries, this work was a primary textbook of mathematics, containing the only framework for geometry known by mathematicians until the development of "non-Euclidian" geometry in the late 19th century. The extent to which Euclid's "Elements" is of his own original authorship or borrowed from previous scholars is unknown, however despite this fact it was his collation of these basic mathematical principles for which most of the world would come to the study of geometry. Today, Euclid's "Elements" is acknowledged as one of the most influential mathematical texts in history. This volume includes all thirteen books of Euclid's "Elements," is printed on premium acid-free paper, and follows the translation of Thomas Heath.

Book Description
An around-the-world journey to discover where in the wild we can find the elements of life and the surprising ways they’re essential to our survival We all know that we depend on elements for survival—from the oxygen in the air we breathe to the carbon in the molecular structures of all living things. But we don’t often stop to appreciate how, say, phosphorous holds our DNA together or how potassium powers our optic nerves so that we can see. In The Elements We Live By, physicist and award-winning author Anja Røyne takes us on an astonishing journey through chemistry and physics, introducing the building blocks from which we humans—and the world—are made. Not only does Røyne explain why our bodies need iron, phosphorus, silicon, potassium, and many more elements in just the right amounts in order to function, she also leads us around the world to where these precious elements are found (some of them in ever-shrinking quantities). You’ll understand how precariously balanced our lives—and ways of life—really are, and you’ll see these unsung heroes of the periodic table in an entirely new light.
