Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This illuminating compendium follows the captivating stories behind far-ranging facts, wherever they lead. No topic is too trivial for serious consideration, from how one might determine the most average-size country in the world to determining who would win in a fight between Harry Potter and Spider-Man. Author Jonn Elledge covers the breadth and depth of human experience, weaving his way through words and numbers, science and the arts, the spiritual and the secular. It's a feast of facts for a hungry mind, including entries on the cosmos, the planet (and the lines we draw on it), questions of measurement, history and politics, the natural world, leisure, and many 'oddities' that don't fit neatly into any category but are no less irresistible for it. Bizarre, brilliant, and overflowing with things you didn't know you wanted to know, Elledge's Nontrivial Trivia evokes a sense of awe at the scale of this planet-and the universe of wonders in which it sits.Publisher's note:Elledge's Nontrivial Trivia was previously published in the UK asThe Compendium of (Not Quite) Everything.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From skepticism about the moon landing to the 'deep-state' claims of QAnon, it's always been human nature to believe we're being lied to by the powers that be (and sometimes, to be fair, we absolutely are). But technology has given conspiracies a new power over national discourse, and in our dogged quest for the truth, we might actually be doing it some damage. In Unproven, Unlikely, and Firmly Believed, internationally bestselling authors Tom Phillips and Jonn Elledge take us on an eye-opening journey through history's greatest conspiracy theories, to try and answer a vital question for our times: How can we learn to start trusting hard evidence again Publisher's note:Unproven, Unlikely, and Firmly Believedwas previously published in the UK asConspiracy: A History of Boll\*cks Theories, and How Not to Fall for Them.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In December 2010, scientists discovered a fragment of a finger bone in the remote, Denisova Cave in Siberia. To their surprise, the bone contained neither Homo sapiens nor Neanderthal DNA. Rather, the fast-advancing science of paleogenetics revealed that the DNA came from a previously unknown species of hominids-the Denisovans-who shared a common ancestor with both Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.This and subsequent Denisovan fossil discoveries required paleoanthropologists, including Silvana Condemi, to reconsider their understanding of our ancestors and their successive prehistoric migrations out of Africa and into and throughout Eurasia tens of thousands of years ago.Leading us through the excavation of Denisova Cave, the sequencing of the Denisovan genome and recent fossil research, Condemi and her co-author, François Savatier, explore how the Denisovans migrated throughout Asia and with whom they interacted along the way, as well as the comparisons and divergences between the evolutionary processes of Denisovans and our other ancestor cousins, Neanderthals. They help us to understand and appreciate how today's inhabitants of East Asia-from Siberia to the Philippines-carry up to 5 percent of Denisovan DNA, and they revise the epic story of our ancient human ancestors' journeys as they peopled our planet.…
