Genome»rank: 7091par: Matt Ridley
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Science writer Matt Ridley has found a way to tell someone else's story without being accused of plagiarism. Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters delves deep within your body (and, to be fair, Ridley's too) looking for dirt dug up by the Human Genome Project. Each chapter pries one gene out of its chromosome and focuses on its role in our development and adult life, but also goes further, exploring the implications of genetic research and our quickly changing social attitudes toward this information. Genome shies ... |

The Right Stuff»rank: 57915par: Tom Wolfe
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Tom Wolfe began The Right Stuff at a time when it was unfashionable to contemplate American heroism. Nixon had left the White House in disgrace, the nation was reeling from the catastrophe of Vietnam, and in 1979--the year the book appeared--Americans were being held hostage by lranian militants. Yet it was exactly the anachronistic courage of his subjects that captivated Wolfe. ln his foreword, he notes that as late as 1970, almost one in four career Navy pilots died in accidents.

Also, the diagnostic tools involved are publicly available; the reader has the opportunity to play along at home. This offers the reader an unparalleled opportunity to really get a ... |

Works»rank: 15311par: Kate Ascher
Chroniques et points de vue: :Kate Ascher could not have chosen a much drier topic for a book than water mains, parking meters, railroad classification yards, and the other doodads of city infrastructure. But in Ascher's captivating book, The Works, the innards of New York City come alive. Wonderfully illustrated, the book combines text, maps, and other graphics to tell the story of the systems that keep America's greatest city running smoothly. How are traffic lights coordinated? How do potholes form and which areas have streets with the best 'smoothness score'? How is mail processed? ... |
