Elemental: How the Periodic Table Can Now Explain (Nearly) Everything

Product Information

Ember and Wade are instantly distinct, understood, and likeable. They both grow tremendously and at a consistent pace. They are 110% the reason to see this film. I got emotionally wrapped up in their lives and desires in a way that I've only felt in Pixar's best films. This is the sole great achievement of Elemental. But okay, I’m not too proud to read a kid’s book if there are things I can learn from it, and I learned a number of interesting facts from this one. Once I adjusted to his writing style, I started to enjoy the author’s ability to describe the physical world with memorable images, such as:

There is a great deal of tragedy in this novel, and a sense of lessons learned the hard way, but these are always balanced by the joy of community, and hope, and also by Amanda's beautiful prose: The Brave Little Toaster (1987) • Valiant (2005) • The Wild (2006) • A Christmas Carol (2009) • Gnomeo & Juliet (2011) • Mars Needs Moms (2011) • Strange Magic (2015) • The Lion King (2019)This is the first time that Pixar had the clips from their previous films in a trailer for a new film since Inside Out.

In a city where water, earth, fire, and air residents live together, a fiery young woman and a go-with-the-flow guy are about to discover something elemental: how much they actually have in common. Not quite good enough for four stars, not sure about the fourth part, seemed more of an add on rather than an integral part. However, enjoyed the first three elements, as Meggie swapped a closed community in cold and windy Scotland to sunny Australia, via fishing ports in the British Isles. The writing gave a living history to life in the fishing communities, especially gutting the herring. A hard life, but an escape from small village life.a b Moreau, Jordan (May 16, 2022).

In many ways, this would be a useful high school chemistry textbook to better engage readers and connect people with applications and instances of the elements in everyday life and history to make chemistry feel more relevant and integrated to those less inclined to be curious on their own. It could also make a handy coffee table book for waiting rooms or parlors. Gold is] the most malleable metal available, so soft that 28 g would be enough to make a wire stretching nine times the height of Everest.” (p. 108)

Did we miss something on diversity?

Elemental is Amanda Curtin’s second novel and it is a huge work, richly researched and steeped in atmosphere. It takes the reader on a geographical and chronological journey – from the isolated fishing village of Roanhaven on the north-east coast of Scotland at the turn of the twentieth century, to the vast, blue skies of Fremantle, Western Australia, during war-time. It ends in 2011, in the hills around Perth.

There’s so much I could say about this book, but it’s time to close now. There’s the wonderful description of the puffin that made my son ask me why I was smiling, eyes closed; there’s the central mystery revolving around Brukie’s Sandy; there’s Granda Jeemsie, and the coda at the end.
