Professor at the University of London Mark Medovnik did an almost impossible thing - he wrote not only an accessible, but also a witty book about a wide variety of materials - a kind of “Entertaining Materials Science”. A story about new chemical compounds, a thoughtful comparative analysis of wine glasses, the steel of samurai swords, composite materials for transplantation, concrete structures of ultra-modern airports - the author writes about all this with brilliance and deep knowledge of the subject. What It's Made Of is an excellent piece of popular science of the highest caliber, a real treat for the curious reader.
