I'm looking for a good book to be able to identify the chemical makeup of common things in the real world.

Ie. if i see bricks, I'd like to be able to know it's chemical composition as well as how it's properties are derived from it's lattice structure.

I've studied materials science in my undergrad (i focused on nanotechnology), so I have a pretty strong foundation in chemistry but I've been out of school for a while and I'd like to pick this back up.
