Wholesale Liquid Rules: Substances That Flow Through Our Lives

Liquid Rules: The Delightful and Dangerous Substances That Flow Through Our Lives A human can last about 10 days with no food but without water they can only survive for around 3 days. Water is vital, it's true, but for many so is that morning cup of coffee. Liquid Rules reveals much about various liquids and their variously delicious, poisonous, and explosive natures. Told through the language of molecules, droplets, heartbeats, and ocean waves, this discourse on fluid, from hand soap to molten lava, illustrates the wonders of liquid properties. Told conversationally and with genuine enthusiasm, Miodownik fuses history with the latest research to fully tell his liquid tale. You'll never look at a ballpoint pen the same way again.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
