Librazo. Ayuda a enamorarse a煤n m谩s del mundo. Todo es tan... inteligente, por as铆 decirlo. Yo lo tengo cerca de mi velador, y a veces lo releo antes de dormirme. Me tranquiliza, en momentos de agitaci贸n, recordar que habito en un lugar hermoso.
This book has been my "bedtime" story for almost a year and I simply like everything about it, especially the biography part. It's an easy read to those who know nothing about history or famous figure in science and philosophy field like Einstein, Aristotle, Socrates, Kirchhoff and other familiar name. I believe we might learn these figures' equation and theory at college, but it's kind of sad if we know nothing on how they lead their life towards greatness. The way how Aydon map the relation of some famous figures really interesting (some were student of the other, and some were close friend) and easy to understand.Apart from the biography, the scientific phenomenon like rainbow, lightning, rain, light and such occurrences is beautifully explained. It's too easy to understand and the best part of this book is you can just open any page and read without feeling bored. I highly recommend this book to everyone.
Very delightful resource for a non-budding scientist like myself. There's some great core ideas that help me understand the workings of the world around me. I think our country could really benefit from greater exposure, at an earlier age to scientific discovery. Finally, a condensed and easy-to-comprehend introduction to 2,000 yrs. of Discovery. It discusses some of the greatest research, offering along with it historical context. Since there's no way to remember all this stuff, I wish to purchase it.
An easy to read introduction to scientific concepts, theories and the history of scientific discovery. I read it cover to cover and am now eager to go back to certain pages to re-read bits that I especially enjoyed. It definitely inspired 'scientific curiosity' in me!
