Sinossi

"Sticky Things" explores the fascinating science behind adhesion, uncovering why certain materials are inherently sticky. Delving into the realms of biology and materials science, the book explains the forces that govern stickiness in both natural and synthetic substances. Readers will discover how intermolecular forces and surface energy play crucial roles in determining whether a substance clings to another surface or itself. For example, the unique chemical composition of tree sap, a blend of resins and sugars, contributes to its remarkable adhesive properties. The book examines natural adhesives like honey and biological glues used by marine organisms, providing insights into how nature has optimized adhesive solutions through evolutionary processes. By studying these examples, the book highlights how scientists can draw inspiration from nature for technological innovation, a concept known as biomimicry. Progressing from fundamental principles to specific examples, "Sticky Things" begins with an introduction to surface energy and wetting before exploring case studies of glue, honey, and tree sap. It concludes with a discussion of practical applications, from developing new coatings to creating biomedical materials.

    When the City Stopped - Stories...

    In When the City Stopped, Robert Snyder tells the story of COVID-19 in the words of ordinary New Yorkers, illuminating the fear and uncertainty of life in the early weeks and months, as well as the solidarity that sustained the city. New Yorkers were "alone together," separated by the protective measures of social distancing and the fundamental inequalities of life and work in New York City. Through their personal accounts, we see that while many worked from home, others knowingly exposed themselves to the dangers of the pandemic as they drove buses, ran subways, answered 911 calls, tended to the sick, and made and delivered meals. 
     
     
     
    Snyder builds bridges of knowledge and empathy between those who bore dangerous burdens and those who lived in relative safety. The story is told through the words of health care workers, grocery clerks, transit workers, and community activists who recount their experiences in poems, first-person narratives, and interviews. When the City Stopped preserves for future generations what it was like to be in New York when it was at the center of the pandemic.
