Structures : OR WHY THINGS DON'T FALL DOWN by JE Gordon

The book "Structure" by J.E. Gordon is a must-read for anyone interested in the science of materials and their properties. This book is recommended by none other than Elon Musk, who has famously stated that he relied on his knowledge of materials science to build the SpaceX rockets.

"Structure" is a fascinating journey through the world of materials, from the very small, like atoms and molecules, to the very large, like buildings and bridges. It provides a comprehensive overview of how different materials behave and why they behave that way. The author uses clear language and vivid examples to make complex concepts accessible to anyone, even those with no prior background in science or mathematics.

What sets this book apart is its emphasis on the underlying principles that govern the behavior of materials, rather than simply presenting a laundry list of facts and figures. This approach allows readers to develop a deep understanding of why materials behave the way they do, and how they can be used to solve real-world problems.

Whether you're a student of science, an engineer, or simply someone with a curious mind, "Structure" is a book that you won't want to miss. It's an engaging and accessible read that will expand your knowledge and deepen your appreciation for the incredible world of materials. So go ahead and dive in - you won't be disappointed!
