Liquid Rules

The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives

Liquid Rules by Mark Miodownik is a lively, accessible tour of the strange and essential world of liquids, blending clear science, personal anecdotes and historical episodes to explain how liquids flow, stick, evaporate and solidify. Miodownik examines everyday fluids like water, blood and milk alongside exotic materials such as liquid metals and superfluids, showing how their behaviors shape technology, medicine and the environment and why they can be both delightful and dangerous. The book mixes curiosity, practical experiments and witty observation to invite readers to look anew at the moving matter that surrounds and sustains us.
