Without it, we'd have no molecular biology, no understanding of DNA, no genetic engineering, no computers. A century after the development of quantum mechanics, In Search of Schrödinger's Cat tells the full story of how scientists reckoned with a truth stranger than any fiction. John Gribbin leads us into the ever more bizarre and fascinating world of the smallest particles we have discovered, requiring only that we approach it with an open mind. He introduces the ... |

Throughout history, people have sought to improve society by reducing suffering, eliminating disease or enhancing desirable qualities in their children. But this wish goes hand in hand with the desire to impose control over who can marry, who can procreate and who is permitted to live. In the Victorian era, in the shadow of Darwin's ideas about evolution, a new full-blooded attempt to impose control over our unruly biology began to grow in the clubs, salons and offices of the powerful. It was enshrined in a political movement that bastardised science, and for sixty years enjoyed bipartisan and huge popular support. ... |

"– Тя е луда! Погледнах към приятелката си Леа. Тя потупа челото си с пръст. Знаех точно какво има предвид. И бях съгласна. Новата ни учителка беше абсолютно откачена. Смахната. Изкуфяла. Пълно куку." Из книгата Госпожица Шарлот не е като другите учителки: тя прилича на плашило с огромната си шапка и старомодната си рокля, а и в свободното си време често говори на едно камъче... В началото децата я смятат за луда, но малко по малко откриват, че с нея на училище е много по-забавно.
