About This Book
With the singular intelligence and exuberance that made Woman an
international sensation, Natalie Angier takes us on a whirligig tour of
the major scientific disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, geology,
and astronomy. She draws on conversations with hundreds of the world's
top scientists and on her own work as a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer
for the New York Times to create a thoroughly entertaining guide to
scientific literacy.
The Canon is vital listening for anyone who wants to understand the
great issues of our time?from stem cells and bird flu to evolution and
global warming. And it's for every parent who has ever panicked when a
child asked how the earth was formed or what electricity is. Angier's
sparkling prose and memorable metaphors bring the science to life,
reigniting our own childhood delight in discovering how the world works.
NATALIE ANGIER writes about biology for the New York Times, where she
has won a Pulitzer Prize, the American Association for the Advancement
of Science journalism award, and other honors. She is the author of The
Beauty of the Beastly, Natural Obsessions, and Woman, named one of the
best books of the year by the Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune,
People, National Public Radio, Village Voice, and Publishers Weekly,
among others.
A New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist, Woman is
“a text so necessary and abundant and true that all efforts of its kind,
for decades before and after it, will be measured by it� (Los Angeles
Times Book Review). Angier lives with her husband and daughter outside
of Washington, D.C.
