## Description

In this New York Times Notable Book, "Mark Miodownik, a materials scientist, explains the history and science behind things such as paper, glass, chocolate, and concrete with an infectious enthusiasm."—Scientific American Winner of the Royal Society Winton Prize for Science Books Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? These are the sorts of questions that renowned materials scientist New York Times bestselling author Mark Miodownik constantly asks himself. Studying objects as ordinary as an envelope and as unexpected as concrete cloth, he uncovers the fascinating secrets that hold together our physical world. In Stuff Matters, Miodownik explores the materials he encounters in a typical morning, from the steel in his razor to the foam in his sneakers. Full of enthralling tales of the miracles of engineering that permeate our lives, his stories of analysis will make you see stuff in a whole new way. "Stuff Matters is about hidden wonders, the astonishing properties of materials we think boring, banal, and unworthy of attention...It's possible this science and these stories have been told elsewhere, but like the best chocolatiers, Miodownik gets the blend right."—The New York Times Book Review

Review: Interesting read - My 9 year old son and my husband equally got hooked to it. Explains the concepts nicely and helped my son in developing a liking for materials. It became our latest bedtime book :-)
Review: Worth reading.... - Paper quality is very bad it could be better at this cost........but the book is worth reading for sure.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unique book
*by K***R on 30 June 2016*

Unique book which provides a new perspective to the materials which we take for granted. The chapters, the way it is organized and the way it is explained, is not just simple but also highly engaging.
