Od genov do zvezd in naprej

by Sašo Dolenc, Matija Medved (ilustrator)

Nadaljevanje razburljivega potovanja OD GENOV DO ZVEZD prinaša nove osupljive zgodbe iz sveta znanosti, v katerih boste med drugim izvedeli, kako so znanstveniki fotografirali otroško vesolje, kako so opazovali rojstvo novega jezika, kaj so počeli z 2550 litri urina v prahu, pa tudi to, da znajo Nobelovci deskati na valovih in najtežje probleme včasih razrešijo kar na počitnicah. Z ilustracijami Matije Medveda obogatene zgodbe pripovedujejo tudi, kako delujeta internet in blockchain ter kako so v Londonu ustavili epidemije kolere z zemljevidom duhov; spoznali boste moža, ki je preštel neskončnost, skrivnostna bitja iz morskih globin, začetnika znanosti v Sloveniji in splet okoliščin, ki je omogočil, da se je Arhimedov kodeks ohranil do današnjih dni.

Odlično. Razumljivo predstavljeni nekateri pojmi iz znanosti in zgodbe, ki jih spremljajo. Če bi bila ta (ali katera druga knjiga Saša Dolenca) obvezno domače branje recimo v zadnjih razredih osnovne šole, bi bil zagotovo kak skeptik o znanosti manj na svetu.
