Lawrence Bragg begins by illustrating the different forms that water can assume, showing how these change in form depending on changes in temperature. This is followed by a comparison of the three divisions of matter, proceeding to a discussion of latent heat and pressure. Each topic, simply described in terms of atoms and molecules, is supplemented by a vivid demonstration.
