Description: Used paperback of Stuff Matters: Exploring the Marvelous Materials that Shape Our Man-Made World by Mark Miodownik. Paper warping shown in picture 3. Book blurb: Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? These are the sorts of questions that renowned materials scientist Mark Miodownik constantly asks himself. Miodownik studies objects as ordinary as an envelope and as unexpected as concrete cloth, uncovering the fascinating secrets that hold together our physical world.
