Silver: Nature and Culture (Earth)

Book Description
From spoons to bullets to sterling coins, silver permeates our everyday culture
and language. For millennia we've used it to buy what we need, adorn our bodies,
or trumpet our social status, and likewise it's been useful to vanquish
werewolves, vampires, and even our own smelly socks. This book captures all of
these facets of silver and more, telling the fascinating story of one of our
most hardworking precious metals.
As Lindsay Shen shows, while always valued for its beauty and rarity—used to
bolster dowries and pay armies alike—silver today is also exploited for its
chemistry and can be found in everything from the clothes we wear
