Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. First Edition. Diamonds have a vast range of uses, from the most exotic jewellery to their more prosaic, but also extremely important, use as an abrasive in heavy industry. What is it that makes diamonds so uniquely suited to these contrasting roles? Gordon Davies of King's College, London explains, in a readily understandable way, the scientific ideas behind diamond's versatility, going from the earliest (highly fanciful) ideas to our : present level of knowledge. In the process, he provides a wealth of fascinating detail on such topics as the various attempts to synthesise diamond artificially, the colour of diamonds and the cutting of diamonds to produce jewellery, as well as highlighting the individuals involved. These include such people as Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and the Braggs, along with many other famous scientists. Diamond is a fascinating book, intended for anyone with an interest in science at any level. Indeed, even if the reader has very little scientific background, the lucid description of the subject will make this a highly entertaining book. 255 pages including index.------------------ Orders over $100.00 are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
