Humans have put the Earth's resources to extraordinary use. Carbon provides us with heat, light & mobility at the flick of a switch. From silver came photography, the preservation of memories, & a task which for centuries was confined to painters, sketchers & our imaginations. Silver in turn was eventually replaced by silicon, an element which enables us to communicate & transmit information across the globe in an instant. But our use of the Earth's resources is not always for the benefit of humankind. Our relationship with the elements is one of great ambivalence. Uranium produces both productive nuclear power & destructive atomic bombs; iron is the bloody weapon of war, but also the economic tool of peace; our desire for alluring gold is the foundation of global trade, but has also led to the death of millions. This book vividly describes how seven key elements have shaped the world around us
- for good & for bad. Seven Elements takes you on an adventure of human passion, ingenuity & discovery. This journey is far from over: we continue to find surprising new uses for these seven elements. Discover how titanium pervades modern consumer society; how natural gas is transforming the global energy sector; & how an innovative new form of carbon could be starting a technological revolution. Seven Elements is a unique mix of science, history & politics, interwoven with the author's extensive personal & professional experience.

The Argentines grill more meat per capita than any nation on earth. Francis Mallmann was raised in the mountains of Patagonia, trained in the great kitchens of Europe, & returned home to become the top chef in Buenos Aires & the biggest star on South American food television. In 1995 he gave up cooking fancy food & applied all the lessons of haute cuisine to maximizing flavor & texture with wood-fired cookery. His food is astoundingly bright & vivid with burnt, crusty tastes both rustic & refined. Recipes range across the menu, including non-grilled recipes for what to eat while you`re building the fire. Most recipes are adapted for cooking indoors, so this is a cookbook for any season, any kitchen. Francis` seven fires are: Chapa
- a cast iron griddle or skillet (the form most used in this book); Little Hell
- cooking with fire above & below the food; Parilla
- basically what`s called barbecuing or grilling in the US; Horno de Barro
- cooking in a wood-fired clay oven; Rescoldo
- cooking food by burying in hot embers & ashes; Asador
- cooking whole pigs or lambs affixed to an iron cross that faces a bonfire; &, Caldero
- cooking in an iron cauldron or Dutch oven.

In order to find the answers, author & horticultural historian Jennifer Potter tracks this septet of flowers across the globe as she examines the influence they have had on civilizations through the ages. These are both histories & detective stories, full of incident & unexpected revelations. Here are the flowers of life & death; of purity & passion; of greed, envy & virtue; of hope & consolation; of the beauty that drives men wild.
