Why is glass see-through? What makes elastic stretchy? How come concrete pours? Why does a paperclip bend? Why does any material look and behave the way it does? This book tells stories that explain the science and history of materials we take entirely for granted while introducing some of humankind's ingenious and improbable inventions.
