Books - Stuff Matters, Mark Miodownik

[cybermule]

Borrowed this from my aunt, who likes popular science books. And it's very well written, cover the science behind different materials according to key qualities (the title of each chapter). I knew a lot of it, but silica aerogel (for example) was fascinating. And as well as describing the science and uses of each material, Miodownik also talks about the human aspects, and talks about it all in a very well written and engaging style.

I have to give it back to my aunt, but very recommendable.
