PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-The Substance of Civilization Materials and Human History from the Stone Age

The story of human civilization can be read most deeply in the materials we have found or created used or abused They have dictated how we build eat communicate wage war create art travel and worship Some such as stone iron and bronze lend their names to the ages Others such as gold silver and diamond contributed to the rise and fall of great empires How would history have unfolded without glass paper steel cement or gunpowderThe impulse to master the properties of our material world and to invent new substances has remained unchanged from the dawn of time it has guided and shaped the course of history Sass shows us how substances and civilizations have evolved together In antiquity iron was considered more precious than gold The celluloid used in movie film had its origins in the search for a substitute for ivory billiard balls The same clay used in the pottery of antiquity has its uses in todays computer chipsMoving from the Stone Age to the Age of Silicon from the days of prehistoric survival to the cutting edge of nanotechnology this fascinating and accessible book connects the worlds of minerals and molecules to the sweep of human history and shows what materials will dominate the century ahead.

After procuring raw sand and separating the silicon, the excess material is disposed of and the silicon is purified in multiple steps to finally reach semiconductor manufacturing quality which is called electronic grade silicon. The resulting purity is so great that electronic grade silicon may only have one alien atom for every one billion silicon atoms. After the purification process, the silicon enters the melting phase. In this picture you can see how one big crystal is grown from the purified silicon melt. The resulting mono-crystal is called an ingot.. Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. Bell Ringer. Group A.
