How to Speak Science - Bruce Benamran

15.5 €

Be curious, and take the time to get it. Benamran's on a mission to provide us all with a much deeper understanding of the world we live in. For him, science is about stories and characters. Why, for instance, did pirates wear eye patches? That's all to do with how the retina processes light. Pirates running down to the gun deck would have no time to let their eyes get used to the dark, so they kept one eye gun-deck ready. Be curious, and with Bruce as your guide, you'll learn how to question things, how to be mindful of the scientific wonders that surround our daily lives. Embrace the principles of thermodynamics, electromagnetism, classical mechanics and relativity and you'll see the world in a different light.
