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). In 2010, he gave the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures, broadcast on BBC4. He is Director of the UCL Institute of Making, which is home to a materials library containing some of the most wondrous matter on earth, and has collaborated to make interactive events with many museums, such as Tate Modern, the Hayward Gallery and Wellcome Collection. In 2014 Stuff Matters won the Royal Society Winton Prize.

评分年度最喜欢的书!把很geeky很technical的东西讲得那么人文那么有爱,实在太是我的菜了。简直可以想像作者是个渊博有趣的大叔(未来一定是我喜欢的那种可爱老头)。
评分有趣!

我约着山猫还有倩一起去看维康收藏馆(Wellcome Collection)的展览,没想到闭馆了。路过门口的海报的时候,倩对山猫说,啊,展品原来是他们的老师谁谁谁做的。 这本小书的英文名叫《Stuff Matter: The Strange Stories of the Marvellous Materials that Shape Our Man-Made W...
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...
评分一部人类的文明发展史,很大程度上可以说就是一部从自然材料到人造材料的发展、应用的历史。比如说,石器时代就远逊于青铜时代;而当青铜遇到了铁,生产力发展的先后也就泾渭分明了;等到了尼龙时代、碳材料时代等现在很难说是什么样时代的当下以及未来,材料的重要性就更不需...
评分作者安排他的内容很有趣。通过一张在天台喝茶看书的照片来对照片中出现的各种材料进行解释。 而且解释的文字通俗易懂,很容易看下去,让我这个没有化学功底的人也很愉快的一页接着翻下一页。可以从文字中看出来作者对每种材料真心的热爱,甚至为人们忽视它们的美而感到惋惜,好...
