Reviews
"A tribute to Primo Levi as much as it is to the remarkable carbon atom. For to John, as to many others, chancing upon 'The Periodic Table' was transformative. The images you see testify to how different the world becomes after that book finds its way into our imagination. . . . Here John Barnett invites us to follow the atom in its wondrous graphic journey." --Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (from the foreword), "A tribute to Primo Levi as much as it is to the remarkable carbon atom. For to John, as to many others, chancing upon 'The Periodic Table' was transformative. The images you see testify to how different the world becomes after that book finds its way into our imagination. . . . Here John Barnett invites us to follow the atom in its wondrous graphic journey." --Roald Hoffmann, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry (from the foreword) "Engrossing--a biography of one of the most important subjects on earth (and everywhere else)." --Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "A delightfully imaginative story of the whole wide universe and the mysterious connectedness of every little thing in it, including you and me. Barnett explores the magical continuity--the ebb and flow--of all matter with vivid intimacy and quirky humor, and his gorgeous hand-drawn illustrations will absolutely stun you. . . . I'll be urging this superb book on anyone I know at all interested in nature, art, and humanity." --Rosemary Mahoney, author of Down the Nile and For the Benefit of Those Who See "John Barnett's book is artful chemistry: out of the movements of atoms, he creates poetry. Prepare for a brainy--and beautifully illustrated--intellectual adventure!" -- George Zaidan, executive producer at The American Chemical Society, author of Ingredients "Fans of Primo Levi's The Periodic Table will love John Barnett's exquisitely illustrated and poetic homage to Levi and carbon-based lifeforms. Carbon is a whimsical, heartfelt and profound meditation on the transitory nature of the element that makes life possible." --Anil Ananthaswamy, Knight Science Journalism Fellow 2019-20, MIT, author of The Edge of Physics, The Man Who Wasn't There , and Through Two Doors at Once "The mesmerizing drawings driving the narrative of John Barnett's Carbon constitute an insightful and personal tribute to Primo Levi. This small volume is a magnificent example of the power of Levi's work to ignite our imagination." --Alessandro Cassin, Director of Publishing, Centro Primo Levi NY "Barnett's lovely Carbon is enchanted, akin of Primo Levi." --Dudley Herschbach, Professor Emeritus at Harvard University and 1983 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry "Anything that puts me at the intersection of great science and great art is an inspiring gift! I don't think I've seen a better ticket to this destination than John Barnett's Carbon . The fact that it was created with the element it celebrates makes it especially charming." --Mat Kaplan, host and producer of Planetary Radio at The Planetary Society, "A tribute to Primo Levi as much as it is to the remarkable carbon atom.

The fact that it was created with the element it celebrates makes it especially charming." --Mat Kaplan, host and producer of Planetary Radio at The Planetary Society "This gorgeous tribute to the element carbon, the chemical backbone of life on Earth, will remind you of all the ways that chemistry itself is beautiful, fundamental, and even (I say) just plain cool." --Deborah Blum, author of The Poisoner''s Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York "A history of the universe, Earth, and life in 60 pages? Somehow John Barnett has pulled off this feat in a uniquely beautiful book that couples lyrical prose and illustrations wrought with the precision of fine engravings." --Tim Folger, contributing writer at Discover and National Geographic " Carbon is one of those rare works that vividly conveys the wonder and excitement of scientific understanding. By combining stunning drawings with thoughtful meditations on one of life''s central elements, John Barnett brings to life the many-layered way we think and learn about the natural world." --Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden: Quantum Worlds and the Emergence of Spacetime "Exquisite -- a treat for the eyes and the mind." --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of Enlightenment Now
