"Indiscernible Elements: Calcium" offers readers an intriguing journey through the multifaceted world of one of the most vital elements in the periodic table. Written by an author who is both a chemist and a gifted storyteller, this book combines scientific insight with a captivating narrative to illuminate the significance of calcium in our lives.

More poetry than a novel, Indiscernible Elements: Calcium is an interesting view of the author's pensive and deep yet playful thoughts about the world around us.

Indiscernible Elements: Calcium by architectural designer and artist Korynn Newville is a compelling exploration of the relationship between humanity and the natural world. I could not put this book down. Gripping and beautiful. It is a perfect book for art galleries' gift shops.

The book marries the fields of architecture, environmentalism, and biochemistry, examining the path of a calcium molecule through life and death. It raises thoughtful questions around the cyclical nature of elements in the ecosystem, particularly how the calcium in our bodies and the built environment might transition and adapt over time. These questions are presented through an engaging mixture of detailed illustrations, poetry, and dialogues that provoke reflection and discussion.

It's a book that educates, inspires, and challenges the reader to see the beauty and the complexity that lies in the world around us, in the simplest of elements. I hope to see more from Newville as this is a tour de force that I enjoyed greatly.

I just finished reading this book, and let me tell you, it's a mind-blowing journey that connects the dots between nature, architecture, and us humans. It gets you thinking about the circle of life and, yep, even death. It's like this never-ending story where calcium molecules keep doing their thing, even after we're gone. And guess what? You don't have to be an architecture geek or a science guru to enjoy it. Anyone with an open mind will be hooked!

I guarantee you won't look at calcium - or the world - the same way again.

Indiscernible Elements: Calcium is an ode to one of nature's versatile elements. Calcium is an essential element in living and nonliving things and can create structures and objects that we use every day. Written in verse from the point of view of Calcium itself, Calcium explores the ever present cycles of life and death, change, growth and rebirth. Accompanied by original artwork by the author, Indiscernible Elements: Calcium gives a unique view into an element that we often take for granted. While not exactly what I expected from a book about calcium, it was an insightful and interesting look into Calcium.

indiscernible elements: Calcium by Korynn Newville is currently scheduled for release on May 30 2023. This book explores the path a molecule can take through various stages of life and death - from the perspective of Calcium itself. Through the use of detailed illustrations, poetry, and dialogue, author Korynn Newville creates a discussion around how humans can change the way they create the built environment to be more conscious of the wondrous systems at work in nature. If the same Calcium in a femur bone can be used in concrete to build a cathedral, a house, a sidewalk or can be recycled by a nearby plant or tree, how can humans purposefully help that process along? What would Calcium design if it had the choice? What would Calcium say if it could tell you its story.

indiscernible elements: Calcium is a book that I think will play better on paper than on a screen. I thought it was an intriguing idea, and results in a very interesting and unique book. The blend of notes, science, and poetry was well balanced and provides readers exactly what the description promises. I think it will speak to readers that really enjoy poetry and looking at things in our world from a different perspective. Since I was reading this book on a screen, that did not allow for zooming in and getting a better look at the details, I do have to say that the white on black notes and details were sometimes hard for me to see well enough to actually enjoy rather than squinting and puzzling out the words or intent. Also, while I do enjoy and appreciate poetry I think this was just a little more esoteric than I typically chose for my pleasure reading.

Indiscernible Elements: Calcium, was a unique and unorthodox look at the life stages of an element we so largely take for granted. Mapping its path from life to decay, and life again, this short work was certainly intriguing. My only comment would be that I found it very difficult to read all of the notes, and it was impossible to zoom in on the images to try clarifying. But otherwise, an innovative story, told through notes and images. Neat
