| Authors: | Wisniak, Jaime |

| Abstract: | Phosphorus is nearly the most widely and evenly distributed
element on the surface of the earth, and probably the most subdivided. From a
laboratory curiosity in the seventeeth century, it became recognized as a
fundamental element of life and a large chemical commodity, improving
agriculture and industry like very few other discoveries by men have done. |
