Sobre este artículo
Bantam Books, 1984. Trade Paperback. Good. GOOD BOOK! MODERATE WEAR & A FEW BENDS ON COVER. LIGHTLY AGED PAGES WITH RED UNDERLINING IN TEXT. Amazon Review: This book will make you think. This is one of the most thought-provoking and eloquent books about science that I have ever read. Thomas has produced 24 essays defining what it means to be human. Through his fascination with the world, he raises a multitude of questions and points out existing uncertainties. He makes it strikingly clear that the human race has a really long way to go in order to solve the puzzles of this world. He demands solutions and answers; is there some genetic reason for the rituals that occur in nature, such as insects laying their eggs on the branches of specific trees, and then pruning these branches, thus extending the life of the trees and keeping the symbiosis in this world going from generation to generation? What is the explanation for the behavior of bees? How do you explain experiments done on people where, under hypnosis, they are told that their hands are being scalded with an iron, but in fact it is a wooden pencil, and in a short time their whole hand is red and marked? From cells to music, Thomas captures the soul of the reader and opens the door to reality with his thoughts on nature and human consciousness. This book will make you think, and the questions will linger in your mind.
