Excellent, More of Such Titles are necessary

Too much listening to Cosmos, stars, black holes, and galaxies. And so are string theory, quarks, gluons, leptons, hadrons....This is one of different from these subjects. This is all about everyday things that we always wanted to know. More of such books on other scientific disciplines, like Condensed Matter Physics and Engineering are now required.

Why You, yes you should try it

Truly an eye opening book.
At first I wanted a nice science book to read,
I never thought how interesting this one would end up being one of the greats.

In sort, This book is a collection of stories centering around material science.
You can feel that the writer prioritized the story above the knowledge, the knowledge is the cream while the stories are the cake. you come for the cream, but stay for the cake.
truly a marvelous book.

Comprehensive and a great summary

Touches base on multiple materials that are present in our everyday lives. The summary truly is brilliant. If you want to know more about elements, materials and the way they interact with each other. I highly recommend this audible. The narrator is fantastic as well!

Science book cum novel!

Mark Miodownik explains material science in a simple and memorable way using a novelistic style that captures the listener’s interest. Recommended to anyone curious to understand the materials world we live in.

I love it.

For me, a science lover, this book is one of the best.
Not only the contents, the pronunciation of the reader is very good and easy to understand even for a foreigner.
I bought both a reading data from audible, text for my kindle.
I say again, I love it.
