Summary

Alexandrite Origins explores the fascinating story behind this color-changing gemstone, revealing how rare geological circumstances give rise to its unique properties. The book delves into the specific conditions needed for alexandrite to form, emphasizing the interplay of elements like beryllium and chromium. One intriguing aspect highlighted is how alexandrite's existence serves as a marker for unusual geological events, offering insights into the Earth's metamorphic processes.

 
The book also explains the physics behind alexandrite's pleochroism, the phenomenon that causes it to appear green in daylight and red in incandescent light. This color change is due to the way chromium ions absorb light within the crystal structure. Furthermore, it examines the historical and economic significance of alexandrite discoveries, noting how its rarity contributes to its value.

 
The book progresses from introducing chrysoberyl's composition to exploring geological environments and metamorphic events to discussing pleochroism and historical discoveries. This book uniquely emphasizes the geological rarity and specific formation conditions of alexandrite.

 
By presenting complex scientific information in an accessible manner, Alexandrite Origins caters to a broad audience, including geology students, gemologists, and anyone interested in Earth sciences and the origins of gemstones.

    In fascinating detail, Ivan Solotaroff introduces us to the men who carry out executions. Although the emphasis is on the personal lives of these men and of those they have to put to death, The Last Face You'll Ever See also addresses some of the deeper issues of the death penalty and connects the veiled, elusive figure of the executioner to the vast majority of Americans who, since 1977, have claimed to support executions. Why do we do it? Or, more exactly, why do we want to?The Last Face You'll Ever See is not about the polarizing issues of the death penalty -- it is a firsthand report about the culture of executions: the executioners, the death-row inmates, and everyone involved in the act. An engrossing, unsettling, and provocative book, this work will forever affect anyone who reads it.
