它是一种气体：扩展我们世界的崇高和难以捉摸的元素
The New York Times bestselling author of Stuff Matters presents a rollicking guided tour of the secret lives of gases: the magnificent, strange, and fascinating substances that shape our world.
Gases are all around us—they fill our lungs, power our movement, create stars, and warm our atmosphere. Often invisible and sometimes odorless, these ubiquitous substances are also the least understood materials in our world, and always have been.
It wasn't long ago that gases were seen as the work of ancient spirits: the sudden closing of a door after a change in airflow signaled a ghost's presence. Scientists and engineers have struggled with their own gaseous demons. The development of high-pressure steam power in the eighteenth century literally blew away some researchers, ushering in a new era for both safety regulations and mass transit. And carbon dioxide, that noxious by-product of fossil fuel consumption and cow burps, gave rise to modern civilization. Its warming properties known for centuries, it now spells ruin for our fragile atmosphere.
In It's a Gas, bestselling materials scientist Mark Miodownik chronicles twelve gases and technologies that shaped human history. From hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and neon to laughing gas, steam, and even wind, the story of gases is the story of the space where science and belief collide, and of the elusive limits of human understanding.
中文| 2024年9月17日| ISBN:0358157153|304页| True EPUB | 31.49 MB《纽约时报》畅销书《物质的重要性》的作者对气体的秘密生命进行了一次欢快的导游之旅：塑造我们世界的壮丽、奇怪和迷人的物质。 气体就在我们周围——它们充满我们的肺部，为我们的运动提供动力，创造恒星，并温暖我们的大气层。这些无处不在的物质通常是看不见的，有时是无味的，也是我们世界上最不了解的材料，而且一直都是。 不久前，气体还被视为古代灵魂的产物：气流变化后突然关闭的门预示着鬼魂的存在。科学家和工程师一直在与自己的气态恶魔作斗争。十八世纪高压蒸汽动力的发展确实让一些研究人员大吃一惊，开创了安全法规和公共交通的新时代。二氧化碳是化石燃料消耗和奶牛打嗝的有害副产品，它催生了现代文明。几个世纪以来，它的变暖特性众所周知，现在它对我们脆弱的大气层来说意味着毁灭。 在《这是一种气体》一书中，畅销材料科学家Mark Miodownik记录了塑造人类历史的十二种气体和技术。从氢气、二氧化碳和氖到笑气、蒸汽，甚至风，气体的故事是科学和信仰碰撞的空间的故事，也是人类理解难以捉摸的极限的故事。本站不对文件进行储存，仅提供文件链接，请自行下载，本站不对文件内容负责，请自行判断文件是否安全，如发现文件有侵权行为，请联系管理员删除。
