This book attempts to explain in basic scientific terms the fundamental cause for many of the properties and behaviour of liquids, solids and air that we see in our daily lives. We can explain and so understand many of the phenomena that we observe everyday using some fairly simple scientific principles developed over many centuries of study of the properties of natural materials. This book demonstrates that a strong scientific background is not needed to explain many of the examples we see in everyday life and in many important industrial processes. The author was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire. He obtained his PhD from Imperial College, London just before moving to Australia in 1978. He has spent most of his academic career at the Australian National University in Canberra, as Professor of Chemistry, Dean of the Faculty of Science, Chair, Board of the Faculties and as Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education). In 2009, he was appointed the Founding Chief Investigator of the new National Centre of Excellence in Desalination at Murdoch University, Perth. He is currently a Professor of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales, Canberra.

“Wade Davis is a true wayfinder, and these essays offer new insight into his visionary approach to culture, landscape, and the planet he loves as fiercely as any writer working today.”—John Vaillant, author of Fire Weather A timely and eclectic collection from one of the foremost thinkers of our time, “a powerful, penetrating and immensely knowledgeable writer” (The Guardian). The essays in this collection came about during the unhurried months when one who had traveled incessantly was obliged to stay still, even as events flared on all sides in a world that never stops moving. Wade Davis brings his unique cultural perspective to such varied topics as the demonization of coca, the sacred plant of the Inca; the Great War and the birth of modernity; the British conquest of Everest; the endless conflict in the Middle East; reaching beyond climate fear and trepidation; on the meaning of the sacred. His essay, “The Unraveling of America,” first published in Rolling Stone, attracted five million readers and generated 362 million social media impressions. Media interest in the story was sustained over many weeks, with interview requests coming in from 23 countries. The anthropological lens, as Davis demonstrates, reveals what lies beneath the surface of things, allowing us to see, and to seek, the wisdom of the middle way, a perspective of promise and hope that all of the essays in this collection aspire to convey. “Wade Davis has a gift for saying the unsayable. He’s a fearless explorer in the intellectual world, as in the physical. His refusal to embrace conventional wisdom on climate change, for example, and instead think through the issue for himself, is a model of independent thinking. Even when I disagree with Wade, as with some of his bleak comments about the United States, I’m grateful for his voice. We usually live on the surface of ideas when we talk about issues such as war and racism; Wade takes us far deeper.”—David Ignatius, columnist and associate editor, Washington Post

Catalogue Essay for the exhibition 'On the Surface of Things' curated by Isobel Parker Philip. Featuring the work of Kate Beckingham // Bianca Chang // Deb Mansfield // Sarah Mosca // Tasha Ong // Isobel Parker Philip // Eloise Rapp // Jacob Ring // Justine Varga On the Surface of Things is an attempt to dissect the complex and fluid relationship between the surface and the submerged. Concerned with mutable boundaries and shifting planes, the exhibition draws attention to the interstitial space between over and under, veil and veiled. The artists featured share a preoccupation with surface, skin, screen and shroud. They erect edifices and penetrate palimpsests. Moving across thresholds, their work animates the logic of the liminal and in-between. This collective fascination with surface is interrogated in relation to the ontological specificity of the photographic medium. Preserving moments beyond the limits of chronology, the photograph is cloaked in a temporal shroud. The tangible and tactile becomes an imprint of light on a flat plane. To photograph is to cover and to drape. Published by Threshold Publications, 2013 Supported by the Firstdraft Curatorial Grant. Firstdraft Gallery 116-118 Chalmers St Surry Hills NSW Australia

Excerpt from The Surface of Things This suggests a general question of serious import in the life and work of men of letters, of science, and of art. Nay, we may classify these professions from this point of view, i.e., as the vocation itself tends to blend or to dis sociate the person and his work. The man of science is thus least hampered by the fear of the inopportune obtrusion of his personality' while at the other end of the scale, the artist.
