Have you ever considered writing a book about a professional topic but then hesitated because it would be… well, too boring? In that case, you need to read Mark Miodownik’s books Stuff Matters (2013) and Liquid Rules (2018). Mark is a world-class material scientist and both of his books are a top-notch popular science. Yet somehow, they are also short and highly engaging for any reader, an excellent example of how to popularize expert knowledge. As one of our friends, who translated Mark’s book, said: “When he writes about subjects like reinforced concrete, it’s still way more entertaining than your average thriller.”
