This high-school level or general reader's guide to the study of matter at the theoretical and experimental level starts almost in the darkness of time with the Egyptian god Osiris and the ancient theory of matter. It then covers Greek matter theory including geometric solids, Zeno's paradox, Aristotle's model of the universe, including his four elements and four qualities, and discusses Chinese, Middle Eastern and Indian concepts, including the Yin-Yang symbol. It covers the alchemical symbols that sorted materials and planets and the contributions of alchemist David Teniers the Younger in the seventeenth century, the building of order through Boyle's air pump, Priestley's gas-collecting pneumatic trough, Lavoisier's constant pressure gas pump and reaction vessels, and Lavoisier's table of simple substances, followed by research on the atomic elements and the elements above 92.
