Sometimes explosive, often delicious, occasionally poisonous, but always interesting: the New York Times best-selling author of Stuff Matters show us the secret Lives of liquids: the shadow counterpart of our solid stuff.
Just as in Stuff Matters, Mark Miodownik\'s unique brand of scientific storytelling brings liquids to life in a captivating new way..
We come to see liquids with wonder and fascination, and to understand their potential for death and destruction.
We encounter fluids within the plane--from hand soap to Liquid crystal display screens--and without: in the volcanoes of Iceland, the frozen expanse of Greenland, and the marvelous California coastline.
But do we understand how much we rely on liquids, or their destructive power? Set on a transatlantic flight, Liquid Rules offers readers a tour of these formless substances, told Through the language of molecules, droplets, heartbeats, and ocean waves.
We know That we need water to survive, and That a cup of coffee or a glass of wine can feel just as vital.
