«La matière et l'esprit: Le silicium, de la naissance de l'Univers à l'univers des hautes technologies» is the essay by François Fröhlich and Erik Gonthier.
The book follows the silicon atom from the origin of the universe to microprocessors: it summarises the evolution of the cosmos, focuses on Earth as the planet of silicates and explains the role of silicon in the mineral world and in life. It thus traverses the civilisation of flint and that of clay up to the era of microprocessors.
Editions du May published the work in 1991 in hardback; it has 139 pages and is written in French. It includes numerous colour photographs.
It will appeal to those seeking an overview that connects the history of the universe, geology and the evolution of technology.
