Sinossi
Unless we are brilliant at science in our teenage years, many of us put off 'childish things' - science museums, palaeontology - in favour of museums, art galleries and concert halls. A cultured person, Natalie Angier argues, should know about the classic ideas of physics and biology as well as the classic works of Beethoven and Picasso. Drawing on conversations with many of the world's leading scientists, Angier takes us on a vivid, good-humoured and informative tour of this neglected canon. An entertaining guide to scientific literacy - from stem-cell research to bird flu and global warming - that explains the machinery of this place we call home.

Most Of Us, However Well Educated, Still Find It Impossible To Answer Even The Most Basic Questions About Science. It Is Something We Associate With Childish Pleasures (Trips To The Science Museum, A Love Of Dinosaurs); We Leave It Behind In Adolescence To Pursue The Canon Of Literature And The Arts. But A Truly Cultured Adult, Natalie Angier Argues, Should Know The Classic Ideas Of Physics And Evolutionary Biology As Well As The Classic Works Of Beethoven And Shakespeare. In The Canon, Angier Takes Us On A Dazzling Joyride Through The Beautiful Basics Of Science .

The Canon Is Vital Reading For Anyone Who S Ever Been The Slightest Bit Curious About How Our World Works. It S For Anyone Who Wished They Understood The Great Issues Of Our Age - Global Warming, Stem-Cell Research, Nuclear Arms - Or For Parents Who Panic When Their Child Ask Them How Electricity Works.
