The overall point he makes about science being a process of uncovering new incremental discoveries is a great idea which cannot be emphasized enough. What left me wanting more, though, was that he rarely described the evidence science has to back up its claims. In an effort to reach the general public, he leaves out the details that makes science what it is: a continual quest for knowledge of how the universe works. I wanted less scientific facts and more description of how we know what we know. ( ) Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Joe Schwarcz really does tell it like it is in 67 short, entertaining, and informative pieces about chemistry in everyday life. He gives us the latest about homeopathy and alternative medicine. He explores the science behind Alice's strange adventures in Wonderland, Rumpole's deadly cheese souffle, and Casanova's experiments with Spanish Fly'; he investigates the nefarious chemistry of the KGB, the colours of urine, and the mysteries of baldness. Even Houdini makes a magical appearance. Finally, discover the amazing links between radar, hula hoops, and playful pigs!' Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
