description: This book tells about metals, both about such well-known metals as iron, copper and aluminum, and about those whose name is not familiar to everyone, such as cerium, gadolinium, tantalum. You will read about the magic properties of titanium, the young rival of iron, about uranium, a new fuel for power plants, about tungsten, the strongest and most refractory member of the metal family, and, in general, about all the eighty metals existing in nature. At the same time this book is about man, his great power over metals, and his ability to transform rusty stones and ores into metal articles.
