Liquid: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives by Mark Miodownik
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 7.5 MB
Overview: Sometimes explosive, often delightful, occasionally poisonous, but always fascinating: the secret lives of liquids, from one of our best-known scientists
A series of glasses of transparent liquids is in front of you: but which will quench your thirst and which will kill you? And why? Why does one liquid make us drunk, and another power a jumbo jet?
From the bestselling author of Stuff Matters comes a fascinating tour of the world of these surprising or sinister substances – the droplets, heartbeats and ocean waves we all encounter every day. Structured around a plane journey which sees encounters with water, wine, oil and more, Miodownik shows that liquids are agents of death and destruction as well as substances of wonder and fascination, and – just as in Stuff Matters – his unique brand of scientific storytelling brings them and their mysterious properties alive in a captivating new way.
