The New Science of Strong Materials: Or Why You Don't Fall through the Floor BOTY_2025 exploring eight major outbreaks ofJ. E. Gordon's classic introduction to the properties of materials used in engineering answers some fascinating and fundamental questions about how the structural world around us works. Gordon focuses on so called strong materialssuch as metals, wood, ceramics, glass, and boneexplaining in engaging and accessible terms the unique physical and chemical basis for their inherent structural qualities. He also shows how an in depth understanding of these
