In this exuberant book, the best-selling author Natalie Angier
distills the scientific canon to the absolute essentials,
delivering an entertaining and inspiring one-stop science
education. Angier interviewed a host of scientists, posing the
simple question "What do you wish everyone knew about your field?"
The Canon provides their answers, taking readers on a joyride
through the fascinating fundamentals of the incredible world around
us and revealing how they are relevant to us every day. Angier
proves a rabble-rousing, wisecracking, deeply committed tour guide
in her irresistible exploration of the scientific process and the
basic concepts of physics, chemistry, evolutionary biology,
cellular and molecular biology, geology, and astronomy. Even
science-phobes will find her passion infectious as she strives "to
make the invisible visible, the distant neighborly, the ineffable
affable."
