Gold

by Anita Louise McCormick

Since ancient times, people the world over have valued gold above most metals. For at least 5,000 years, gold has been used to make jewelry, coins, art objects, and other valuable items. Today, gold also has many industrial applications, from computers to medicine. In this book, students will learn about the elemental properties of gold, how gold is mined and processed, and how, through the centuries, the quest for gold has led to war.
