Reseña del libro "Shrinking birds: and eleven other short stories from the frontiers of bioscience 2016 (en Inglés)"

The latest science stories brought to life. Are birds shrinking because of climate change? Why do we never see wild animals out jogging? If you close your eyes, how do you know where your legs are? These fascinating questions and more are answered in this diverse array of stories that focus on some of the latest advances in bioscience. Professor John R. Speakman captures the imagination by bringing cutting edge science to life in this engaging series of easy reading stories. Full contents include: do animals keep fit? is democracy a good system? why do ant societies tolerate lazy individuals? could killing a certain type of cell make us live 25% longer? is climate change shrinking birds? does chivalry still guide our behaviour? why do we not feel hungry when we are ill?, can we make our fat burn itself? when you close your eyes how do you know where your legs are? is this the end for malaria? Hygenic bees and why do we treat the obese so badly? Professor John R. Speakman is a successful British biologist living and working in Beijing, China. He writes a monthly popular science column for the Chinese magazine 'Newton' and 'Shrinking birds' is the third book in a series of popular science books that compile the English versions of these columns.
