Liquid Rules is a fun and fascinating book, and a great follow-up to Stuff Matters. Interesting and wide-ranging facts about all types of liquids were organized around charming and ceaselessly self-effacing vignettes from the author's transatlantic flight. The audiobook narration is perfect.
I loved the author's previous book, Stuff Matters, in which he, a materials scientist, gets into the interesting details on about eleven various solids. Now he's turned his eye towards liquids. In the course of a transatlantic flight, he discourses on several fluids ranging from kerosene, salt water, alcohol, glue, soap, ink, and so forth. Just endlessly fascinating. Both of these books I will probably re-read sometime.
