Kémiai elemek


Tiszta tudomány és káprázatos fotóanyag - aki értelmes, érzékeny lény csak a Világegyetemet lakja, mindnek sok örömöt hozhat, sok új ismeretet nyújthat ez a pompás kötet. A periódusos rendszer adta forgatókönyv szerint vonulnak föl előttünk az elemek , ahol csak lehet, rögtön vegytiszta formában, pazar kiállításban. Illegetik magukat kicsit, megmutatják minden hasznukat és tudásukat, kérkednek vegyületeikben betöltött szerepükkel, mindennapi életünkben elfoglalt helyükkel. Természetesen a kelletl en, rejtőzködő, megfoghatatlanul rövid életű elemekről is szó esik, hiszen így teljes a kép. Minden oldalpár egy-egy fényképes igazolvány ebben a kötetben. A fotókhoz mellékelt személyleírás érdekes históriákat közöl, kuriózumokkal szolgál, jellemraj zot taglal - a lehető legalaposabb bemutatóját adja az illető kémiai elemnek. Persze kötelező a természettudományos pontosság: minden fontos és árulkodó tulajdonság - atomtömeg, atomsugár, kristályrácsrajz, elektronhéj-szerkezet, emissziós spektrum, halmazállapot megjelenik az elemek személyi adatai között. Ami pedig magát a periódusos rendszert illeti, ahhoz is használati utasítást mellékel a könyv, egysersmind az elemek egyedi és közös vonásaira is magyarázattal szolgál.

Prvky


„Periodická tabulka prvků," říká autor Theodore Gray, „je univerzální katalog všeho, čeho se můžete dotknout." Všechno ve vesmíru, co je hmotné, se skládá z prvků a prvky mají dvě podoby - buď jsou čisté, nebo jsou součástí chemických sloučenin, které vznikají jejich spojením s jinými prvky. Kniha Prvky nám nabízí vzácnou možnost vidět obojí, pěkně zblízka a na vlastní oči. Tato kniha, představující kompletní a vizuálně poutavý portrét všech prvků na světě, vznikla po sedmi letech výzkumu a fotografování. Prvky jsou řazeny podle pořadí v periodické tabulce prvků, z nichž každý je představen (pokud je to možné) na krásné velké fotografii. Například kyslík (prvek 8) je bezbarvý plyn, ale při teplotě -183 °C se mění na světle modrou kapalinu. Najdete tu také fotografie, které demonstrují, jak jednotlivé prvky fungují v našem světě - jejich sloučeniny a využití, s nimiž se setkáváme v každodenním životě. Doprovodný text ke každé dvoustranně obsahuje o tom kterém prvku zajímavosti. Tak se například dozvíme, že fluor (prvek 9) je velmi reaktivní. Když fouknete proud tohoto plynu prakticky na cokoliv, okamžitě to vzplane, ale právě kvůli tomu jsou sloučeniny fluoru velice stabilní. Kromě těchto zajímavostí v této publikaci nechybějí ani základní vědecké údaje, jako je atomová váha, atomový poloměr, diagram struktury krystalu, graf elektronové konfigurace, spektrum atomového záření nebo teploty, při kterých se prvek vyskytuje v pevném, kapalném a plynném skupenství. Vysvětlení těchto vlastností a celé struktury periodické soustavy prvků najdete v úvodu. Ve své jedinečné kombinaci čistě vědeckých dat a umění fotografie představuje kniha Prvky perfektní čtení i podívanou pro každou vnímavou bytost na světě.

Theodore Gray's Completely Mad Science


Bestselling author Theodore Gray has spent more than a decade dreaming up, executing, photographing, and writing about extreme scientific experiments, which he then published between 2009 and 2014 in his monthly Popular Science column "Gray Matter." Previously published in book form by Black Dog in two separate volumes (Mad Science and Mad Science 2), these experiments, plus 5 more all-new ones, will now be combined in one complete book. Packaged in a smaller, chunkier format Completely Mad Science is 432 pages of dazzling chemical demonstrations, illustrated in spectacular full-color photographs. Some of the completely mad experiments in the book include: Casting a model fish out of mercury (demonstrating how this element behaves very differently depending upon temperature); the famous Flaming Bacon Lance that can cut through steel (demonstrating the amount of energy contained in fatty foods like bacon); creating nylon thread out of pure liquid by combining molecules of hexamethylenediamine and sebacoyl chloride; making homemade ice cream using a fire extinguisher and a pillow case; powering your iPhone using 150 pennies and an apple, and many, many more. It's the ultimate collection for Gray's millions of fans.

Reactions


The third book in Theodore Gray's bestselling Elements Trilogy, Reactions continues the journey through the world of chemistry that began with his two previous bestselling books The Elements and Molecules. With The Elements, Gray gave us a never-before-seen, mesmerizing photographic view of the 118 elements in the periodic table. In Molecules, he showed us how the elements combine to form the content that makes up our universe. With Reactions, Gray once again puts his photography and storytelling to work to demonstrate how molecules interact in ways that are essential to our very existence. The book begins with a brief recap of elements and molecules and then goes on to explain important concepts that characterize a chemical reaction, including Energy, Entropy, and Time. It is then organized by type of reaction including chapters such as "Fantastic Reactions and Where to Find Them," "On the Origin of Light and Color," "The Boring Chapter," in which we learn about reactions such as paint drying, grass growing, and water boiling, and "The Need for Speed," including topics such as weather, ignition, and fire.

Molecules : The Elements and the Architecture of Everything


In his highly anticipated sequel to The Elements, Theodore Gray demonstrates how the elements of the periodic table combine to form the molecules that make up our world. Everything physical is made up of the elements and the infinite variety of molecules they form when they combine with each other. In Molecules, Theodore Gray takes the next step in the grand story that began with the periodic table in his best-selling book, The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe. Here, he explores through fascinating stories and trademark stunning photography the most interesting, essential, useful, and beautiful of the millions of chemical structures that make up every material in the world. Gray begins with an explanation of how atoms bond to form molecules and compounds, as well as the difference between organic and inorganic chemistry. He then goes on to explore the vast array of materials molecules can create, including: soaps and solvents; goops and oils; rocks and ores; ropes and fibers; painkillers and dangerous drugs; sweeteners; perfumes and stink bombs; colors and pigments; and controversial compounds including asbestos, CFCs, and thimerosal. Big, gorgeous photographs, as well as diagrams of the compounds and their chemical bonds, rendered with never before seen beauty, fill the pages and capture molecules in their various states. As he did in The Elements, Gray shows us molecules as we've never seen them before. It's the perfect book for his loyal fans who've been eager for more and for anyone fascinated with the mysteries of the material world.
