From the celebrated neurobiologist and primatologist, a landmark, genre-defining examination of human behavior, both good and bad, and an answer to the question: Why do we do the things we do? Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: He starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.

we know so much, we know so little

Profesor Sapolsky takes us on an adventure of enormous magnitude. Everything human/animal that goes into how we behave - what we actually do - is here. Neurons, hormones, dna, family, tribe, country.

In a rare blend of scientific insight and writing as elegant as the theories it explains, Brian Greene, one of the world's leading string theorists, peels away the layers of mystery surrounding string theory to reveal a universe that consists of 11 dimensions where the fabric of space tears and repairs itself, and all matter-from the smallest quarks to the most gargantuan supernovas-is generated by the vibrations of microscopically tiny loops of energy.

good pop physics, but low level
Revisado: 05-12-17
nice book telling the string theory story.
the analogies are good.
the technical level is low.
I have listened to some great courses on physics and a few books, and this one had the lowest level, so keep that in mind.

The ordinary atoms that make up the known universe - from our bodies and the air we breathe to the planets and stars - constitute only 5 percent of all matter and energy in the cosmos. The rest is known as dark matter and dark energy, because their precise identities are unknown. The Cosmic Cocktail is the inside story of the epic quest to solve one of the most compelling enigmas of modern science - what is the universe made of? - told by one of today’s foremost pioneers in the study of dark matter.

great writing and level, but not sure if true
Revisado: 04-17-17
very interesting stuff. I was happy with the technical level, which is not low.
unfortunately, reading this in 2017, after the discovery of the Radial Acceleration Relation (and being aware of it, and also McGaugh's blog), is a bit of a challenge. I know that no experiment, including all those mentioned in the book, has found anything (well, except for the DAMA claims). The author, with the rest of the mainstream cosmology community, seem a like a cult. The short mention of MOND for the sole purpose of quickly dismissing it is very telling.
