Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials That Shape Our Man-Made World by Mark Miodownik

5.0

There was a television show produced by the BBC a few years back called Connections with James Burke. It inspired me to learn more about history and science and how the two can drive one another. This book often reminded me of the best of that series. It is relatable, interesting, and put things in a light that I think are relatable to many. There were chapters when I started thinking I knew everything about the topic but was happy to find there was more to it.

I highly recommend this book. If you would like to know more about why and how things work, along with the reasons behind them, this is a great read.
