A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Have you ever wondered why there are so many kinds of living things in the world? Or where they come from? Or how we fit in with all of them? Scientists and poets ask these questions every day. But while scientists turn their observations and experiments into scientific knowledge, poets transform their insights into works of art.
