Stuff Matters by Mark Miodnownik is a unique and inspiring exploration of human creativity. 'Enthralling. A mission to re-acquaint us with the wonders of the fabric that sustains our lives' Guardian Everything is made of something... From the everyday objects in our homes to the most extraordinary new materials that will shape our future, Stuff Matters reveals the inner workings of the man-made world, the miracles of craft, design, engineering and ingenuity that surround us every day. From the tea-cup to the jet engine, the silicon chip to the paper clip, from the ancient technologies of fabrics and ceramic to today's self-healing metals and bionic implants, this is a book to inspire amazement and delight at mankind's creativity. 'A certain sort of madness may be necessary to pull off what he has attempted here, which is a wholesale animation of the inanimate: Miodownik achieves precisely what he sets out to' The Times 'Insightful, fascinating. The futuristic materials will elicit gasps. Makes even the most everyday substance seem exciting' Sunday Times 'Wonderful. Miodownik writes well enough to make even concrete sparkle' Financial Times 'I stayed up all night reading this book' Oliver Sacks 'Expert, deftly written, immensely enjoyable' Observer Mark Miodownik is Professor of Materials and Society at UCL, scientist-in-residence on Dara O Briain's Science Club (BBC2) and presenter of several documentaries, including The Genius of Invention (BBC2).

评分文/赵焕发 早晨起来洗漱,用吉列刀片刮去杂乱的胡须,猛地意识到,自己被神秘的材料包围着。 就这个样子,整个人感觉都不太好了,我们的确生活在材料之中,我们住在钢筋混凝土的森林里,我们乘坐各种铁皮怪物穿行在城市之中,我们每天和各种各样的纸张打交道,也许刚刚用十块...

评分材料在我们的身边无处不在,用作者的话来说,如果去掉你身边的各种材料,你就只能光溜溜的飘在空中发抖……但我们往往忽视材料的重要性,或者对他们视而不见,人类文明的时代,从石器时代、青铜时代、铁器时代,一直到现在的“硅”时代,都是因为一种新材料出现而促成的。作者...
