The Elements: A Visual Exploration
The Elements: A Visual Exploration is the most beautiful, the most interactive, the most magical ebook ever created. The Elements for iPad preserves the lush look and beautifully composed pages of the best-selling hardcover edition, but adds an astonishing new dimension to the material.
Every one of the more than 600 objects shown in the book goes from being a simple photograph to a fully interactive, rotatable 3D object. This is Harry Potter's edition of the book, filled with magical objects that are delightfully responsive to the reader's touch, spinning freely and fluidly in response to the slightest gesture.
"The iPad's splendor and power may be best shown by The Elements... it's not like any e-book you've seen. The periodic table of elements comes to life..."
