About Everything in the World

We encounter the characters featured in this book—chemical elements—every day without even realizing it. They exist in the ground we walk on, the utensils we use daily, and even flow within our bloodstream. But how much do you truly know about chemical elements? Do you understand why chromium is added to steel? How is tank armor forged? Is the finest glass made of crystal? Why do ancient paintings darken over time? What is the purpose of a mirror? Young readers will find answers to these and many more questions about chemical elements by exploring the stories in this book.
