Chemical elements appeared at the same time as the universe, they shaped our planet and life on it. Yet we rarely think about how much human life depends on these invisible heroes. Norwegian physicist Anja Røine introduces readers to the amazing world of matter that makes up all of us. How many chemical elements are contained in a cell phone? Why is iron necessary for respiration? How are phosphorus and DNA related? Can the elements ever run out, and have humans already done irreparable damage to the planet? From Røyne's book you will learn the answers to many questions and unravel the mysteries of the "building blocks" of Mendeleev's table. "The energy you spend reading this book, moving your eyes and converting text into information in your brain is the result of chemical reactions during which oxygen and carbohydrates are converted into carbon dioxide and water in the cells of the body" (Anja Røyne). The book was previously published in the Scientific Interest series under the title Human Chemistry: How Iron Helps Us Breathe, Potassium Helps Us See, and Other Secrets of the Periodic Table.
