The New Science of Strong MaterialsBy: J E Gordon Why isn't wood weaker that it is? Why isn't steel stronger? Why does glass sometimes shatter and sometimes bend like spring? Why do ships break in half? What is a liquid and is treacle one? All these are questions about the nature of materials. All of them are vital to engineers but also fascinating as scientific problems.

Why isn't wood weaker that it is? Why isn't steel stronger? Why does glass sometimes shatter and sometimes bend like spring? Why do ships break in half? What is a liquid and is treacle one? All these are questions about the nature of materials. All of them are vital to engineers but also fascinating as scientific problems. During the 250 years up to the 1920s and 1930s they had been answered largely by seeing how materials behaved in practice. But materials continued to do things that they "ought" not to have done. Only in the last 40 years have these questions begun to be answered by a new approach. Material scientists have started to look more deeply into the make-up of materials. They have found many surprises; above all, perhaps, that how a material behaves depends on how perfectly - or imperfectly - its atoms are arranged. Using both SI and imperial units, Professor Gordon's account of material science is a demonstration of the sometimes curious and entertaining ways in which scientists isolate and solve problems.

not a big fan
dont really like the set, the neck on the shirt is much smaller than it should be, tight around the neck, the pants are nice, comfortable and feel like they will last

Absolute horrible quality
Color: Black, Size: Medium
Do not purchase this track suit even if its on sale. The fabric material is so cheap, it feels like a tacky uncomfortable plastic bottle that's been stretched out over your body. The stitching feels very off and the thickness is somehow too bulky and looks baggy and at the same time feels too tight. Do yourself a favor and avoid, I'm returning this product.

Nice fit jogger set
My husband is a midsized guy in weight and also an old school guy he don't like the skinny leg pants so these were perfect I ordered more than one. He says they are very comfortable.
