Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In 1981 David Quammen began what might be every freelance writer's dream: a monthly column for Outside magazine in which he was given free rein to write about anything that interested him in the natural world.

ISBN: 9780393350845 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The real story of AIDS--how it originated with a virus in a chimpanzee, jumped to one human, and then infected more than 60 million people--is very different from what most of us think we know.

Excerpted and adapted from the book Spillover, with a new introduction by the author, Quammen's hair-raising investigation tracks the virus from chimp populations in the jungles of southeastern Cameroon to laboratories across the globe, as he unravels the mysteries of when, where,...

Natural Acts: A Sidelong View of Science and Nature (Revised, Expanded)
ISBN: 9780393333602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) "Lively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions," said David Quammen in the original introduction to Natural Acts. For more than two decades, he has stuck to that credo. In this updated version of curiosity leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what are their redeeming merits?), dinosaurs (how did they change the life of a dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (can it save endangered species?). This revised and expanded edition... "Lively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions," said David... |
