Summary

"Smart Materials" explores a revolutionary class of materials engineered to respond dynamically to their environment. Imagine bridges that self-repair or clothing that adapts to temperature changes; this book reveals the science behind these advancements. It addresses pressing global issues, such as creating sustainable infrastructure with self-healing concrete and revolutionizing personalized medicine through responsive materials.

 
The book traces the evolution from traditional materials to these adaptive systems, explaining complex concepts with clarity. For example, shape-memory alloys, which revert to their original shape after deformation, are transforming medical devices. Chromogenic materials, which change color in response to stimuli, are finding applications from smart windows to camouflage.

 
"Smart Materials" progresses from fundamental principles to real-world applications, including self-healing polymers and nanotechnology, examining their potential and ethical considerations. What distinguishes this book is its accessible approach, avoiding excessive jargon while providing a balanced perspective on both the benefits and challenges of responsive materials. It's designed for a broad audience, from students and researchers to anyone intrigued by the future of materials science and technology.

    ’You never knew what you were going to be confronted with when you went on Later…’ Nick Cave‘Later… is a voyage of discovery for us as well as the viewers’ Dave Grohl 
Dave Grohl and Alicia Keys loved it, Björk treasured it, Ed Sheeran’s life was changed by it, Kano felt at home while Nick Cave was horrified but inspired, and they all kept coming back. 
This first-hand account of the BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland takes you behind the scenes of one of the world’s great musical meeting places. Legends including Sir Paul McCartney, Mary J. Blige and David Bowie found a regular welcome, alongside the next generation of superstars including Adele, Ed Sheeran and Amy Winehouse. Part of what has made the show so special is the format – all those bands, singers, stars and newbies brought together to listen as well as to perform in Jools’ circle of dreams. But there’s always been plenty of mayhem alongside the magic of convening a room full of musicians hosted by one of their own. 
Written by the show’s co-creator and 26-year showrunner, music journalist Mark Cooper, this is the story of how Later… grew into a musical and TV institution. It was Mark who had to explain to Jay-Z why he couldn’t just do his numbers and split, who told Seasick Steve why he had to play ‘Dog House Boogie’ on the Hootenanny and persuaded Johnny Cash that he simply had to come in, even when The Man in Black wasn’t feeling well. 
From Stormzy to Björk, from Smokey Robinson to Norah Jones, from Britpop to trip hop, here is the word on how Later… began, evolved and has endured, accompanied by exclusive interviews with some of the show’s regular stars as well as the unique pictorial record of Andre Csillag who photographed the show for over 20 years. A must-read for music fans everywhere, Later… with Jools Hollandpulls back the curtain on classic performances to reveal that the show is just as magical, if even more chaotic, than you imagined. 
This top-rated biography, steeped in television history, offers a unique insight into the culture of popular artists. It's a captivating autobiography that showcases the best of the music industry, as seen through the eyes of photographers and critics. 
For fans of Elijah Wald (Jelly Roll Blues), Daniel De Visé (The Blues Brothers), Paul Mccartney (The Lyrics), Michael Palin (Erebus), and Dylan Jones (David Bowie).
