图书描述

A thrilling drama of man versus nature—detailing the fierce, ongoing fight against the mightiest and unlikeliest enemy: rust.

It has been called “the great destroyer” and “the evil.” The Pentagon refers to it as “the pervasive menace.” It destroys cars, fells bridges, sinks ships, sparks house fires, and nearly brought down the Statue of Liberty. Rust costs America more than $400 billion per year—more than all other natural disasters combined.

In Rust, journalist Jonathan Waldman travels from Key West, Florida, to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, to meet the colorful and often reclusive people concerned with corrosion. He sneaks into an abandoned steelworks with a brave artist and nearly gets kicked out of Can School. Across the Arctic, he follows a massive high-tech robot, hunting for rust in the Alaska pipeline. On a Florida film set he meets the Defense Department’s rust ambassador, who reveals that the navy’s number one foe isn’t a foreign country but oxidation itself. At Home Depot’s mothership in Atlanta, he hunts unsuccessfully for rust products with the store’s rust products buyer—and then tracks down some snake-oil salesmen whose potions are not for sale at The Rust Store. Along the way, Waldman encounters flying pigs, Trekkies, decapitations, exploding Coke cans, rust boogers, and nerdy superheroes.

The result is a fresh and often funny account of an overlooked engineering endeavor that is as compelling as it is grand, illuminating a hidden phenomenon that shapes the modern world. Rust affects everything from the design of our currency to the composition of our tap water, and it will determine the legacy we leave on this planet. This exploration of corrosion, and the incredible lengths we go to fight it, is narrative nonfiction at its very best—a fascinating and important subject, delivered with energy and wit.

著者简介

Biography

Jonathan Waldman was part weary, half-seasick, and fully broke when the idea for his first book, Rust, came to him. He'd been living aboard a 40-foot sailboat in San Francisco for a year, coming to terms with a romance for the sea that was failing to develop. Before then, he'd put in time at a newspaper, a website, a magazine, a radio show, a TV production company, and a couple science museums. He'd studied science writing at Dartmouth and Boston University, and written for Outside, The Washington Post, McSweeney's, and the Utne Reader -- and also worked as a forklift driver, arborist, summer-camp director, sticker salesman, climbing instructor, and cook. From Washington, D.C, he's lived in Washington, Oregon, California, New Mexico, and Wyoming -- and now calls Colorado home.

读后感

看了封底的推荐,我以为是本很棒的科普书籍,可惜我失望了。 这本书几乎没有“硬”的科学知识,它没告诉你锈蚀的产生、原理、危害以及人们如何使用各种手段对抗它。取而代之的是,这本书实际上通过10个故事讲述了人们对抗锈蚀的历史,过去和现状,以及对于整个对抗锈蚀行业的叙...

世界的模样,既在每个人的眼里,又不在任何一个人的眼里。我们从未留意到某些事物,它们虽与我们同处在一个时空,但它们内里微妙的变化过程,仿佛就像在另一个与我们同规的平行时空一样。作者通过种种案例,数据和历史,展现了这个"平行时空"的存在,那就是"金属的锈蚀世界"。 ...
