Sticky: The Secret Science of Surfaces 

byLaurie Winkless

Laurie Winkless uses Sticky to investigate the Secret Science of Surfaces through a carefully framed science narrative. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of science. Throughout, the author balances an accessible narrative with the complexity needed to understand motives, constraints, and disputed interpretations. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
