This book looks at one of our most common elements. The author takes us through the discovery of carbon, and then provides fascinating information on this element's place on the periodic table and why it belongs there. The use of photographs and unique experiments allows us to see where carbon is found in the natural world, its compounds, and its uses in everyday life.
