## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding science writing!
*by C***N on November 20, 2014*

This is, without a doubt, the most interesting, relevant, informative and enjoyable book I have read in years. The author grabs the reader's attention and makes them hunger for a greater understanding of the material "stuff" that populates our daily lives. I strongly recommend this book.I especially recommend it for high school and college students who are trying to decide whether a career in science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) is right for them. If they have any curiosity at all, they will gobble this book up. If only all scientists and engineers could write this well!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ lots about everyday materials
*by P***D on October 3, 2013*

Good, easy and clear for none technical readers like me. Well and amusingly thought out and presented but I would have liked a bit more, perhaps more 'materials or deeper analysis.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrific scientific
*by S***K on March 19, 2014*

Who knew you could burn a diamond? Or that it would turn into graphite? Traverses history, molecular construction and society in its survey of everyday items. The real bonuses when you come across chapters that pose questions you'd never contemplated before. What chemical process turns concrete from a liquid to hard rock? How come chocolate melts in your mouth? Perhaps some better illustrations or photos could have enhanced the presentation but ... I wanted more.
