Wonderful Materials: 12 Chemicals That Changed the World and the Scientific Legends Behind Them

I may be the first to read this book, and I finished it on November 13th. My Feelings is a popular science book for the general public. Well written, personal experience, seriously, no one will read this book? ? ? ? ? ?

This is a highly readable scientific book suitable for people of all walks of life. This book introduces the historical origins and uses of various materials in detail, which is very inspiring to us. When I traveled to Japan, I saw mountains of crushed asphalt road gravel piled up on the roadside. I immediately realized that these are for reuse, in the Japanese archipelago where raw materials are extremely scarce. It is no surprise that this book comes from an author who has studied the material so thoroughly. We want to thank the author, and at the same time we must cherish every resource around us and make long-term contributions to mankind.

As the book says, human society is always changing, and new materials are constantly emerging. I think of my uncle. He is an inventor and is always researching new materials. He said that changes in materials will make life better. This book made me more interested in materials science. I also want to be an inventor and invent new materials that change the world!

Reading this book will not be as boring as an academic textbook. It opens the development process of chemical materials from an interesting perspective and can be used as an interesting window to the world of materials.

Understand matter, understand the nature of thought.

After reading the novel, let's read some popular science knowledge. Very good, recommended! Tell the history of the things we use every day

I just finished reading it. This is the first time I have read a book on Tomato other than online books. Personally, I feel pretty good [smile]

Popular science sketches, full of knowledge and stories.

Great book! Well written!

Rich and good bullish knowledge

Most human activities are based on materials. It can be said that materials limit human imagination.

Tutankhamun's mask from 3,000 years ago is still dazzling. This metal has a beautiful luster and will not rust no matter how harsh the environment. Even if all the metal ever mined by humans were concentrated in one place, it would only fill three Olympic-sized swimming pools. This is the magic metal that drives human history - gold. ... Iron is an extremely common element. It is so common that after tens of billions or hundreds of billions of years in the future, iron will account for the largest proportion of the element in the entire universe. At that time, the universe will be filled with big iron balls, all living things will have quietly disappeared, and the universe will become an icy space with no one watching. ... The book also introduces other chemical substances, such as plastics, calcium carbonate, rubber, etc., Which play an important role in daily life and industrial production. For example, the invention of plastic has changed people's lifestyles. From daily necessities to industrial products, plastics are everywhere. As mentioned in the book, materials are the foundation of human society. From politics to economy, from military to culture, everything in human beings is based on materials.
