Improbablologie and beyond: New reviews of unlikely science (Paperback)

Customer Review

Sure, we do not hold much, but if we drop the humor of the author, and for me this is the case, we enjoy reading chronic (already published in the science supplement world) of unlikely science. We meet scientists who experiment on themselves, are asking questions that may seem absurd, but not always, doubtful and develop experimental protocols (not to mention the statistical aspect, which is not discussed here but whose author worries regularly on his blog in the world).

Scientists find there maybe a friendly but somewhat futile recreation, but for the public it is also an opportunity to find out how to experiment with results that are sometimes heard (the number of calories spent making love, for example). And psychology experiments are a little too think (the taste of a bottle of wine depends on its price? We have less trouble when you win money, it is less honest in the late afternoon, the poor prefer large ...) And the mysteries of evolution to improve sperm competition ...

I am going to order Volume 1.
