Acerca de esta escucha
Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Liquid by Mark Miodownik.
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?
Sometimes dangerous, often delightful and always fascinating, discover the secret lives of liquids, from one of our best known scientists.
From the best-selling author of Stuff Matters comes a fascinating tour of the world of these surprising or sinister substances - the droplets, heartbeats and ocean waves we encounter day to day. Structured around a plane journey which sees encounters with water, wine and oil, among others, the book shows that liquids are agents of death and destruction as well as substances of wonder and fascination. Just as in Stuff Matters, Miodownik's unique brand of scientific storytelling brings them and their mysterious properties alive in a captivating new way, revealing why liquids flow up a tree but down a hill, why oil is sticky, how waves can travel so far, why things dry, how liquids can be crystals, the future of liquid self-healing roads and how to make the perfect cup of tea.
In Liquid, Miodownik unlocks the mysterious properties of the slippery, dark, explosive, delicious and poisonous liquids that airport security are rightly worried about and that we have come to rely on.

Materials Science Explained So Nicely !
I wish to listen all books by Mark.
His way of explaining everyday things, primarily on Materials Science, can increase the curiosity of any reader. When the market has been flooded with books on Astrophysics and Particle Physics, beginning since 1984 wih the "Brief History of Time" by Stephen Hawking, Mark's attempt to understand things at our reach makes him special.
I hope Mark can offer an excellent text on "Many Properties of Matter", from lattice vibrations, band theory, optical, magnetism to superfluids and superconductivity.
