Abstract/Description: Bensaude-Vincent and Loeve's Carbon: A Biography is a profoundly interdisciplinary exploration of an
element at the heart of life, technology, and culture. The book takes readers on a journey that transcends traditional scientific narratives, intertwining history, philosophy, and material culture to illuminate the multifaceted roles of carbon in shaping our world. The authors' approach,
which blends rigorous scholarship with creative storytelling, makes this work a compelling contribution to the history and philosophy of science and technology.
