An engaging and wide ranging discussion of why things are sticky, geckos, swimming, airplanes, tires, tectonic plates & earthquakes, melting ice, our skin, and what items "touching" actually means. I highly recommend this!
Despite the "Sticky" title, this book talks about all kinds of surfaces, and they are way more interesting than I initally would have expected. The science of surfaces touches everything from car racing to geckos to spacecraft to sports. The delivery was brisk and quite detailed, sometimes intimidatingly so, but in general I enjoyed it.
