What would you think if we told you that Earth is a planet without metals?
You might be surprised, but very few metals actually exist in isolation-only gold, and silver in smaller amounts. All the others are part of rocks and minerals. Therefore, humanity had to master fire and technology to extract metals from minerals. Humans and their history are closely related to metals. In fact, that is why the Copper, Bronze, and Iron Ages are named after them.

We bring you a book filled with unique information and fun facts about metals. Do you know how important metals are to human beings? The true history of our species was written with the extreme heat of furnaces, the strike of hammers, and the shine of metals. Without them, today there would be no electricity, cars, airplanes, skyscrapers, video games, or modern medicine. You would literally live in the Stone Age.

Welcome to the world of metals-and yes, this world is yours too. Have you ever analyzed all the metals that surround you? Look no further than your own hands: within your reach, there are more than 30 metals and their alloys. Behind that shiny touchscreen and its lightweight casing lies an invisible network that connects your present with human history.
