Liquid Rules

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.
