Resumen del Editor
Interesting anecdotes and engaging tales make science fun, meaningful, and accessible. Separating sense from nonsense and fact from myth, these essays cover everything from the ups of helium to the downs of drain cleaners and provide answers to numerous mysteries, such as why bug juice is used to color ice cream and how spies used secret inks. Mercury in teeth, arsenic in water, lead in the environment, and aspartame in food are discussed. Mythbusters include the fact that Edison did not invent the light bulb and that walking on hot coals does not require paranormal powers. The secret life of bagels is revealed, and airbags, beer, and soap yield their mysteries. These and many more surprising, educational, and entertaining commentaries show the relevance of science to everyday life.

Napoleon's Buttons is the fascinating account of 17 groups of molecules that have greatly influenced the course of history. These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance.

One out of three women alive today, and one out of two men, will face a cancer diagnosis, according to the World Health Organization. Ty Bollinger takes this personally: in the course of a decade, he says, "I lost my entire family to cancer. I don't believe I had to lose them." The Truth about Cancer has been written for one simple reason: to share the knowledge we need to protect ourselves, treat ourselves, and in some cases save our lives or the lives of those we love.

Medical doctor and researcher Dr. Kris Verburgh is quickly emerging as one of the world's leading research authorities on the science of aging. The Longevity Code is his authoritative guide on why and how we age and on the four most crucial areas we have control over in order to slow down - and even reverse - the aging process. We learn why some animal species hardly age at all while others age and die very quickly and about the mechanisms at work that slowly but definitely cause our bodies to age, making us susceptible to heart attack, stroke, cancer, pneumonia, and dementia.

If a piece of individually wrapped cheese retains its shape, color, and texture for years, what does it say about the food we eat and feed our children? Former New York Times reporter and mother Melanie Warner decided to explore that question when she observed the phenomenon of the indestructible cheese. She began an investigative journey that takes her to research labs, food science departments, and factories around the country. What she discovered provides a rare, eye-opening - and sometimes disturbing - account of what we're really eating.

For many, chronic pain is part of an autoimmune disease, but all too often doctors turn to the same solution: painkilling drugs. But all of this medication simply isn't helping. As Dr. Peter Osborne, the leading authority on gluten sensitivity and food allergies, has found, the real solution often lies in what you eat.

The alimentary canal is classic Mary Roach terrain: The questions explored in Gulp are as taboo, in their way, as the cadavers in Stiff and every bit as surreal as the universe of zero gravity explored in Packing for Mars. Why is crunchy food so appealing? Why is it so hard to find words for flavors and smells? Why doesn’t the stomach digest itself? How much can you eat before your stomach bursts?

How did the lowly potato plant feed the poor across Europe and then cause the deaths of millions? How did the rubber plant enable industrialization? What is the connection between malaria, slavery, and the outcome of the American Revolution? How did the fabled silver mountain of 16th-century Bolivia fund economic development in the flood-prone plains of rural China and the wars of the Spanish Empire? Here is the story of how sometimes the greatest leaps also posed the greatest threats to human advancement.

Historia
Napoleon's Buttons is the fascinating account of 17 groups of molecules that have greatly influenced the course of history. These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance.

Historia
Reporter Sam Kean reveals the periodic table as it’s never been seen before. Not only is it one of man's crowning scientific achievements, it's also a treasure trove of stories of passion, adventure, betrayal, and obsession. The infectious tales and astounding details in The Disappearing Spoon follow carbon, neon, silicon, and gold as they play out their parts in human history, finance, mythology, war, the arts, poison, and the lives of the (frequently) mad scientists who discovered them.

Great science fun
This book was a blast and inspired my next personal science project. It introduced me to a lot of history that was edifying in this sense of cyclical time and human action. Worth the time.

Great for getting to the point! Very insightful.
This book is full of great stories that blend science, humor & history into one enjoyable chapter after another. Highly recommended for kids and adults with or without a formal education in science.

Entertaining enough but too fast to really learn
Not sure if it's the writing style or the performer, but I had a tendency to drown out this audiobook while listening. Gives a rapid fire tour of various everyday products, usually with some amusing anecdote, a 'why' to that anecdote, and then further uses or tidbits of history for that chemical/product. If your not paying attention it'll quickly switch from talking about salt to lightning rods without you noticing.

Very cavalier attitude
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is a book for people who do not have any background in science and are after some intersting pills of information.
Has That's the Way the Cookie Crumbles turned you off from other books in this genre?
I will definetli be more careful about science books.
Have you listened to any of Walter Dixon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The narrator is excellent, he does a very good job.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I got very angry with the cavalier attitude of the author towards the facts of science that are not well known, I am in the area of sciences myself and tend to read a lot of research, he doesn't seem to understand the difference of correlation and regression, he talks about studies poorly referencing and above all he assumes that not-proven-to-be-dangerous yet=safe for consumer. It made me very upset for he is spreading more ignorance by giving assurances that he could not guarantee, if I was more ignorant I might take his advice. I found specially disturbing the fact that he refers to genetically modified and genetically selected as if they were the same thing, when they are different. He also disregards unproven worries as if they were silly when we all know of many traditional advices that only found backing of science after decades (we also all know of some traditional advice that was just silly and also took decades to be disproven). I wish he would me more cautious.
Any additional comments?
I believe this book promotes disinformation.
