Gr 9 Up-Beginning with the Big Bang and the creation of all matter, this title goes on to explain various chemical elements essential to modern life. Some serve necessary biological functions within the human body. Others are integral to technology and industry. The author explains how procuring the various elements affects the environment, predictions for when supplies may be exhausted, and even possible space mining or colonization in the future. Not just a discussion of basic chemistry, this is a volume that looks at the human impact on the planet and what we can learn from nature. All references are derived from blog posts or articles easily accessible to readers, but the sources they are based on have been checked for accuracy and authenticity by the author. VERDICT Useful for science or sociology courses that address the various impacts of natural resource development or for popular science readers.
