Graphic designer and illustrator John Barnett has now adapted \u201cCarbon\u201d into a stand-alone book, the first he\u2019s written and illustrated solo. Barnett retells the story in his own words, accompanied by pencil drawings that capture moments in the atom\u2019s journey from its birth in a star to a nerve ending in his brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Barnett first encountered \u201cCarbon\u201d when he was in his 20s, traveling the world after dropping out of college. Barnett remembers that more than once, a person would hand him a book saying it would change his life. But Levi\u2019s actually did\u2014the story of carbon in particular. \u201cIt did for me a little bit what some might expect religion to do,\u201d Barnett says. \u201cIt explained to me something about the universe and a beautiful way of connecting things together. It made the world seem like a different place.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-4967 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-237x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"328\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-237x300.png 237w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-768x971.png 768w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-810x1024.png 810w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-600x759.png 600w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover-459x580.png 459w, https:\/\/primolevicenter.org\/printed-matter\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/jBarnettCover.png 998w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 328px) 100vw, 328px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>He was taken by the simplicity and the power of Levi\u2019s central concept: everything past, present, and future is the same basic stuff taking different forms. Barnett says he has been thinking about adapting \u201cCarbon\u201d since he first read it. He wanted to find a way to make the story more visual\u2014that\u2019s his medium, after all\u2014and to pass on Levi\u2019s lessons to others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>It took 3 decades, but Barnett, now a freelance graphic designer, finally found time to do it. He can identify a few things that motivated him to tackle the project. He felt compelled to try to add something beautiful to the world amid the ugliness he saw in Donald J. Trump\u2019s campaign and presidency. He also perceived an opportunity to provide a different presentation of the chemistry his two high school\u2013aged children were learning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>The most pressing motivator was a degenerative eye disorder, retinitis pigmentosa, that has degraded Barnett\u2019s vision over the last decade. He did the drawings in <i>Carbon<\/i> with his eyes just inches from the page. The progression of the disease \u201cgave me some sense of urgency,\u201d Barnett says, and made him want to spend a lot of time with each drawing. \u201cI don\u2019t know how much longer I\u2019ll be able to see these things. I want them seared into my brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>The drawings are stark and simple: black lines on white pages, or white lines on black. A few dozen words, at most, about what the carbon atom is up to accompany each illustration. Most pages also include a simple structure of a molecule. Some images feel like snapshots\u2014a peregrine falcon flaring its wings, a horse midstride, a limestone cliff. Others are almost dreamlike: it takes a moment for rows of plants on a tea farm or a field of sea ice breaking up to come into focus. Barnett finds clever ways to bring <i>Carbon<\/i>\u2019s theme of unity into the drawings too. A reader might flip back and forth between images of veins in a leaf and a sprawling city seen from above to wonder if they are actually the same drawing at different levels of magnification.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p><i>Carbon<\/i> is not completely faithful to Levi\u2019s original tale. Barnett compares his approach to the story to following someone else\u2019s cross-country trip. There were a few stops, like carbon passing through the falcon\u2019s lungs, that Barnett knew he would make. But he discovered other ideas he wanted to explore, especially in drawings. He decided to start earlier in time than Levi did, at the very beginning, the big bang. Barnett also introduced two interludes\u2014just drawings, no text\u2014at moments when the carbon atom was incorporated into carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"long-form-text-par-8 long-form-text-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"image section\">\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Barnett took those opportunities to make the atom a witness to humans\u2019 growing imprint on Earth. The tea farm marks the spread of human agriculture. A polar bear approaching a rift in sea ice alludes to the effects of global climate change. One stark image shows a mass of plastic bottles and other trash bobbing in an unknown body of water.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Little of Levi\u2019s version is left out, but Barnett shifts the focus somewhat. Levi\u2019s prose lingers on the oxidation of a glucose molecule in the muscles of a galloping horse. In <i>Carbon<\/i>, Barnett elides the chemical reaction, and that feels OK. The eye gravitates to his drawing of the horse\u2019s galloping legs, not the text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Though Levi supplied the inspiration and raw material for Barnett\u2019s book, other chemists helped shape it. With no formal science training, Barnett relied on scientists to make sure he got the details in <i>Carbon<\/i> right. Among those who helped was Roald Hoffmann, who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1981. Hoffmann is also a poet and playwright and, like Levi, a Holocaust survivor. At another chemist\u2019s suggestion, Barnett emailed Hoffmann an early version of <i>Carbon<\/i>despite not knowing much about him. Hoffmann responded enthusiastically and worked with Barnett through different drafts to ensure that the details and chemical structures were accurate. Hoffman also wrote a foreword. \u201cI think I couldn\u2019t have found a more perfect person\u201d to help with the book, Barnett says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Because <i>Carbon<\/i> is his first book, Barnett is excited and nervous about its reception. Worried that people might not like it, he\u2019s reminded of an exercise in an architecture class he took in college. The professor wanted the students to think about how other people would respond to their creations, so he asked the class to picture a building they had designed, then picture it covered in graffiti. Barnett already knows one thing he\u2019d like to correct if <i>Carbon<\/i> gets a second printing, and it\u2019s something chemists will appreciate: the periodic table included at the end of the book is not the version he intended, as it\u2019s a few years out of date and has some typos.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Barnett doesn\u2019t want <i>Carbon<\/i> to be his last book and is considering other elements to tell stories about. He\u2019s particularly drawn to nitrogen and the story of Fritz Haber, whose work on ammonia synthesis led to large-scale production of both fertilizers and explosives. Haber also pioneered work on chemical weapons and developed an insecticide, Zyklon A, that was a predecessor of a product used to kill prisoners in Nazi concentration camps. \u201cThat could be an amazing trajectory for nitrogen, but it\u2019s so goddamn depressing,\u201d Barnett says. He wonders if it would be better to stick closer to Levi\u2019s template and focus on an atom rather than a person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"long-form-text-par-13 long-form-text-parsys parsys\">\n<div class=\"sponsoredContent section\">\n<div id=\"long-article-nativo-1\" class=\"article-sponsored-component full-width\">\n<div class=\"text-left article-content\">\n<p>Right now, Barnett is waiting for people\u2019s reaction to <i>Carbon<\/i>. Perhaps it\u2019s no surprise that he comes back to the imagery of a journey: \u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s at that point when the rubber hits the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-separator type-thin\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"article-intro-author-name\">About John Barnett<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"a-text-bold\">John Barnett <\/span>was born in Buffalo, New York, in 1963. To date, his favorite job was as a shepherd in Cornwall, England. For many years he enjoyed working as a carpenter, even building his own sailboat, which, the last he knew, still floats. For the past decade he has called himself a graphic designer and illustrator, skills he has applied toward many books. This is the first of his own. The drawings within were done \u201cold-school\u201d with fine-tipped mechanical pencils on paper.
