This was an interesting read, but I only gave it 3 stars because i skipped a lot of pages which weren't of interest to me. However, other questions were interesting and i read the answers thoroughly. ( ) Segunda parte del grandísimo libro ¿Hay algo que coma avispas?, que recientemente comentamos en CPI. Son preguntas y respuestas que hacen y dan los lectores de la sección “La última palabra” (The last word) de la revista New Scientist .
Y, de nuevo, la lectura es absolutamente adictiva. ¿Por qué salen las canas? ¿Por qué lloramos al pelar cebollas? ¿Por qué la mayoría de los perros tienen la nariz negra? ¿El efecto placebo siempre es bueno o hay efecto placebo negativo? ¿Por qué hacen tanto ruido al agitarlas las bolsas de plástico del supermercado? ¿Cómo funcionan las gafas que se oscurecen con la luz? ¿Por qué la barandilla de las escaleras mecánicas casi siempre va a velocidad distinta de la escalera? Si me pierdo en un supermercado, ¿Cuál es la mejor estrategia para encontrarme de nuevo con mi acompañante: quedarme quieto o empezar a recorrer los pasillos?… Así hasta 115 preguntas interesantísimas. Se lo aseguro, estimados lectores. Fue empezar a leer y no poder parar. Y este es un libro que hay que releer, pues está lleno de información CPI. Me encanta. Mi nota, nada sorprendentemente, es Imprescindible What ages would I recommend it too? – Eight and up. Length? – Most of a day’s read. Characters? – No. Setting? – Real World. Written approximately? – 2006. Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Ready to read more. Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? No. Short storyline: A mixture of odd science questions and answers. Notes for the reader: There is sometimes a question about the reliability of some of the answers. Sometimes, they are conflicting. Then again, all science is theories, and what is today consider "true" in science may be proved "false" next year, or next decade. Read with caution. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: Why Don't Penguins' Feet Freeze? is the latest compilation of readers' answers to the questions in the 'Last Word' column of New Scientist , the world's best-selling science weekly. Following the phenomenal success of Does Anything eat Wasps? - the Christmas 2005 surprise bestseller - this new collection includes recent answers never before published in book form, and also old favourites from the column's early days. Yet again, many seemingly simple questions turn out to have complex answers. And some that seem difficult have a very simple explanation. New Scientist's 'Last Word' is regularly voted the magazine's most popular section as it celebrates all questions - the trivial, idiosyncratic, baffling and strange. This new selection of the best is popular science at its most entertaining and enlightening .Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
