Cr�ticas:

I am enchanted by the notion of harnessing the power of new ideas and innovative thinking to challenge conventional thought. Looking at real-life issues from unshackled, academically-charged viewpoints provides a seductive draw to solving all of the earth's problems by using your head. (Bill Bryson, Chancellor, Durham University)

Rese�a del editor:

Thinking About Almost Everything brings together original thinking on a staggering range of topics across the sciences, arts and humanities, grouped into nine imaginative and sometimes startling thematic categories. Entries on terror, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and climate change are juxtaposed in the '(Un)settlement' section, while 'Presences' brings together plant genetics, race, humans and animals, music theology, and the Willmore Conjecture.

The short (often just one-page) essays are written in a lively and accessible style, and the book is illustrated with original and challenging images. Thinking About Almost Everything shows how even the most intricate and complex knowledge can enliven public curiosity and spark new thinking on issues either known or yet to be discovered.
