Gran libro que aprovechando un tema tan aburrido como una casa (la estructura de una casa y sus habitantes) nos da mil lecciones de ciencia, empezando por la formación y composición de las pelusas, siguiendo por la resistencia de materiales y su comportamiento térmico... un montón de cosas muy interesantes y bien contadas. Libro muy recomendable. ( ) I don't think that I will recommend this to someone I know who already washes his hands twice before dinner, but if the omnipresence of microbes doesn't freak you out, this is a fascinating book. This covers the minutiae of daily life, the slight shakings of the entire house when one walks across the floor, the dust mites, the drift of particles around the world, the rain of particles from outer space. Bodanis also reviews the ingredients and creation of common items: potato chips, toothpaste, lipstick, deoderant, cake mixes, explaining not only how they work, but how much of the processing is purely advertising hype. The book includes some fantastic special slow-motion, electron-microscope and heat-sensitive photographs. One of the most enlightening and educational books that I have ever read! Want to know what's REALLY going on in your home? Trust me - you have no idea. At least you won't until you've read this remarkable book, which provides a behind-the-scenes look at 24 hours in an average house. Among other things, you'll be surprised to learn that the ringing of your alarm clock slightly heats the walls and curtains of your bedroom, and that if tissue used to contain a sneeze manages to catch even a single virus, it is only by the remotest of coincidences.
