I have only finished four chapters, but love it. Superb and humorous narrative on the property of liquids. Interesting historical/mythological digressions that provide deep and lasting insights.

I picked this book up on a whim because I have ongoing issues with liquids. Roughly 20 years ago we moved to the windward side of Oahu which is essentially rain forest. It rains 24/7/365. ...maybe 355. I frequently wake up in the middle of the night because of my inability to breathe liquid, and look out on my back yard which has pools of same. My relationship with liquids is not particularly good at the moment. It is, however, pretty fruitless to do battle with a state of matter. When the opportunity presented itself to understand it somewhat better I decided to give it a go.Mark Miodownik has written a surprising and immensely entertaining book on liquids, to include those which sit right on the border, like tar and peanut butter. He stages his discussion on a transoceanic flight which brings the subject into sharp focus as he argues the property of peanut butter with TSA and goes on to discuss the subtle differences between same and kerosene or nitro glycerine. He strikes a unique balance between levity and serious science in a way that engages both scientists and those who would nod off during a drier and more direct discussion of the topic, or so I think. I fall in the first camp.I not only got a refresher on a subject, or point of view which I had not considered in many years, but learned a good deal on the way. It is not and easy task to write a general interest book on science and keep it interesting, even more so to do it in a way which is neither condescending nor too obtuse, and one which does not require an introductory course. He must be a wonderful professor. To be able to so engage people in print is quite a trick.All that said, I am not quite sure who this was written for or who to recommend it to. I believe that just about anyone could pick it up, have an enjoyable ride and learn quite a bit along the way (to include practical topics, like how to make the perfect cup of tea, a skill which likely needs some honing for those of us in the Americas). This does present an opportunity for those of us not lucky enough to study at Cambridge to experience the gifts of a great popular science educator..someone who understands his subject matter so well he can bring it down to earth even for the uninitiated. Though somewhat less well known, I would compare his writing to Carl Sagan, or Brian Greene (maybe less well known to those who have not tried to grasp string theory) or even Bill Nye or Neal DeGrasse Tyson.That said, perhaps it offers something for everyone. I do believe it is a book that just about anyone can enjoy.

Mark Miodownik is Professor of Materials and Society at the University College London. He studies the properties of matter and their applications to various areas of science and engineering. His first book for a general audience, Stuff Matters, so fascinated me that I wanted to go back and reread it as soon as I had finished it! In Liquid Rules Miodownik continues his exploration of one important type of material, liquids. Before he discusses specific liquids, though, like a good scientist he defines his terms. Just what makes something a liquid? Is peanut butter a liquid? Yes, he says, and so does TSA in American airports! ( In layman’s terms, liquids are just things that assume the shape of their container.) After the introduction, each chapter talks about a different type of liquid, specifically the liquids he encounters on a transatlantic plane trip: Explosive (jet fuel), Intoxicating (alcohol), Sticky (glue), etc. There is a LOT of science, including diagrams of molecular structure (There were some passages where my eyes glazed over a bit.), but also history, little-known information, like the fact that George Orwell, in addition to writing about dystopias in 1984 and Animal Farm, wrote about how to approach utopia by publishing eleven rules for making the perfect cup of tea, and fun tales like Miodinow’s account of his experience getting VERY close to an active volcano or the story of Professor Thomas Parnell of the University of Queensland, who studied what happens if you dump a bunch of tar into a funnel and let it sit for more than 80 years.While Miodownik is explaining the properties of various liquids, he naturally talks about how they are used. I confess that I never thought about how wings are attached to airplanes, and I was more than a little disconcerted to learn that they are GLUED on…until Miodownik described the nature of glues and put my mind at rest. Well, mostly at rest.Some of the liquids he chooses to tell us about are fairly obvious choices, like the jet fuel; others are more idiosyncratic. I was especially intrigued by the discussion of saliva in the chapter Visceral. Saliva is certainly not something that we think about very often, but it plays a big role in our everyday lives, as Mlodinow engagingly explains. I never realized quite all the good things saliva does for me, and I am once again amazed and grateful for the wonder that is my body. Given his intimate acquaintance with saliva and everything it can do for our gustatory pleasures, I guess I should not have been surprised by his rapturous description of just what a good cup of tea should taste like or by his cogently argued case for why you should order coffee rather than tea if you are in an economy-class seat on a plane.Any reader interested in the world around them will find delights in this book, but it will be of most interest to those who can remember a fair bit from their chemistry classes in high school or, better yet, college. Others may need to skip a few paragraphs here and there and move on. So just relax and go with the flow; after all, that is what liquids do!

This is another one of those fun pop-science books that teaches you cool things in a fun manner. He tells the story through the story of an airline flight, starting with the thousands of gallons of kerosene that get loaded into the plane. He explains chemistry at just a deep enough level that even a layman can understand why we use kerosene in lanterns and not gasoline, and why we can cook with olive oil, but also use it for light. He explains why olives were so important to ancient societies, and why whale oil became a prized commodity in the 19th century. As he continuse talking through why alcohol makes us drunk, or glue sticks to things, he maintains a focus on his airplane theme. It makes for a fun unifying piece as he walks us through the science. It's just a fun book - I liked reading it on a Saturday afternoon in a sunbeam.
