BY THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING, PRIZE-WINNING STUFF MATTERS
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 these
surprising or sinister substances - the droplets, heartbeats and
ocean waves we all encounter every day. Structured around a plane
journey, encountering water, wine, oil and more, Miodownik shows
that liquids are agents of death and destruction as well as
substances of wonder and fascination. His unique brand of
scientific storytelling brings them and their mysterious properties
alive in a captivating new way. ________________ 'A truly
delightful read' Jim Al-Khalili, author of Paradox 'An
exhilarating, eye-opening ride' Philip Ball, science writer and
author of H2O 'Exciting, anarchic and surprising' Katy Guest, The
Guardian 'A thrilling read, from start to finish' Tim Radford,
author of The Consolations of Physics
