About this product
Product Information
A playful, passionate, ebullient guide to the science all around us by a Pulitzer Prize winner and best-selling author. Buckle up for a joy ride through physics, chemistry, biology, geology, and astronomy. Drawing on conversations with hundreds of the world's top scientists and her own work as an award-winning science writer, Natalie Angier does the impossible: She makes science fascinating and seriously fun, even for those of us who, in Angier's words, "still can't tell the difference between a proton, a photon, and a moron." Most of the profound questions we will explore in our lives-evolution, global warming, stem cells-have to do with science. So do a lot of everyday things, like our ice cream melting and our coffee getting cold and our vacuum cleaner running (or not). What does our liver do when we eat a caramel? How does the horse demonstrate evolution at work? Are we really made of stardust? (Yes, we are.) In The Canon , Lewis Thomas meets Lewis Carroll in a book destined to become a modern classic-because it quenches our curiosity, sparks our interest in the world around us, reignites our childhood delight in discovering how things work, and instantly makes us smarter.

- m***c (21)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePackaging left a little to be desired, was crammed diagonally into a box that was too small, corners were unprotected against the outside and arrived a little beat up. Not sure if that was original condition or due to the packaging. Shipping was very fast and item was mostly as described.
