Metals

Look around you. All the things that we build, that we travel in, that we use in our homes, schools, and workplaces... just about everything is made from materials that we either dig out of the ground or get from the plants growing there. This colorful and informative book introduces young readers to one of these important materials -- metal. It explains where different metals come from, how they are mined, and what they are used for. It shows clearly just how important metals are to the world we live in. Book jacket.
