Aluminium. Thirteenth element (Encyclopedia)

Aluminium. Thirteenth element (Encyclopedia) is a Russian encyclopedia devoted entirely to aluminum. I think. The Wikipedia article is confusing.

The encyclopedia has nine chapters about aluminum, including "Chapter 5. The Modern aluminium smelter" and "Chapter 6. A Metal Resembling Tin in Color and Luster." There's also a bonus chapter called "Threshold of the Aluminium Age," which was probably written by a deluded aluminum enthusiast.


Chapter 23. Wrapping tuna sandwiches.
