About this product

Product Information

The Elements is a mesmerizing photographic display of the 118 elements in the periodic table. *    Based on seven years of research and photography, the photographs in the book make up the most complete visual catalog ever assembled of the elements of the periodic table.   *    Originally published in hardcover in the fall of 2009, The Elements has become an international sensation selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. *    Six months after the book was published, Theodore Gray and his newly founded ebook development company, Touch Press, developed The Elements for iPad . It was one of the most talked about apps at the launch of the iPad in April 2010, making its way into all the publicity and even into several Apple advertisements.
