Box Um Curioso Bem Informado

by Greg Jenner

A curiosidade é a mãe da sabedoria! Nada melhor para matá-la que um conjunto de livros selecionados especialmente para desmistificar as pequenas e grandes questões da humanidade.
Em O universo em suas mãos, Christophe Galfard explica de maneira leve e divertida algumas das mais importantes ideias científicas da modernidade, levando o leitor a contemplar galáxias, estrelas e planetas, e a assistir ao funcionamento de cada canto obscuro do universo.

Em Um milhão de anos em um dia, Greg Jenner vai até os detalhes da história do homem para desvendar as curiosidades da vida cotidiana, desde a Idade da Pedra até os dias atuais. Já em Guerra: o horror da guerra e seu legado para a humanidade, o historiador Ian Morris faz uma investigação profunda e provocativa sobre como os conflitos humanos mudaram a sociedade ao longo dos séculos – e para melhor.
