In a completely nontechnical style, the author explains how materials result from the way they are composed of atoms and why they have the properties they do. The book is intended for general readers and uses mainly words, pictures, and analogies, with a minimum of simple mathematics. The author translates the technical jargon of physics into a language that can be understood by anyone. Illustrated with diagrams and photos.
