À propos de cet audio

An entertaining and digestible volume that demystifies science, from the author of 16 best-selling popular science books

Crave answers? A Feast of Science demystifies the chemistry of everyday life, serving up practical knowledge to both inform and entertain. Guaranteed to satiate your hunger for palatable and relevant scientific information, Dr. Joe Schwarcz proves that "chemical" is not necessarily synonymous with "toxic".

Are there fish genes in tomatoes? Can snail-slime cream and bone broth really make your wrinkles disappear? What's the problem with sugar, resistant starch, hops in beer, microbeads, and "secret" cancer cures? Are "natural" products the key to good health? And what is "fake news" all about?

Dr. Joe answers these questions and more. Cutting through the fat of story, suggestion, and social-media speculation, A Feast of Science gets to the meat of the chemical reactions that make up our daily lives.

enjoying the book, but I just thought I'd point out in chapter 53 at 6:42:00 he says "snake slime" instead of snail slime.

typo or misspeak?

A bit repetitive at time, but ok in small doses, which is good as chapters are shorter

ok

Great content but touch to listen to audiobook due to narrator. May be best to buy the paperback instead.

Narrator is awful

This book is not really about telling you about science. It’s more about telling how some people are wrong to think what they think. You can feel the frustration if the author trough the book. Not my style.

Can smell the biases
