| Summary, etc.: | Liquids can be explosive, delicious, occasionally poisonous, but Miodownik always finds them interesting. In showing us how much we rely on liquids, and the destructive power they hold, he offers a fascinating tour of these formless substances, told through the language of molecules, droplets, heartbeats, and ocean waves. From the volcanoes of Iceland, the frozen expanse of Greenland, to the marvelous California coastline, you'll come to see liquids as substances of wonder and fascination, and to understand their potential for death and destruction. -- adapted from jacket |
