Gorman brings his scientific knowledge to bear on a number of eccentric subjects, such as toilet mechanisms, toothpaste pumps, fleas, the sense of humour of cats and dogs and TV evangelists, in 28 essays which aim to combine good scientific sense with a sense of humour.

Etat : Bueno. : En este libro, James Gorman, un escritor científico, aborda una variedad de temas con humor e inteligencia. Desde la pesca con mosca hasta la cría de pulgas, pasando por truchas gigantes y micro cerdos, Gorman examina el mundo que lo rodea con una perspectiva única. Con un estilo conversacional y a menudo satírico, el autor explora por qué los gansos canadienses nunca regresan a casa, por qué los perros tienen mejor sentido del humor que los gatos y por qué es importante el olor de los crayones. Este libro es una colección de ensayos que invitan a la reflexión y al entretenimiento.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. First Thus. From the back cover: There are times in life when one must speak up. And for James Gorman - once a 'serious' science writer, now a man with no endorphins - there is no time like the present. From fly-fishing to flea-farming, giant trout to micro pigs, the preponderance of all things fluffy in children's books to the distressing phenomenon of First World pain, there is a lot to speak up about. James Gorman, who views all conversations as some sort of contest, takes on Charles Darwin, St. Augustine and TV evangelists to explain why Canada geese never go home, why dogs have a better sense of humour than cats and why it matters that crayons smell the way they do. He contrasts upwardly-mobile anthropologists with disappearing tribes headed in the other direction, pokes fun at all pseudo-scientists and still remains optimistic about a world peopled by fools, lunatics and insurance salesmen. -------------------------------------- 174 pages ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
