Embarking on your Curiosity

Publishing date:8 may 2024

Synopsis:

Immersive and beautifully narrated, this revealing book fosters critical thinking and encourages reflection on who we are, where we come from, and where we are headed

What was the origin of everything? Can we travel through time? What is life? Could there be other forms of life in the Universe? Is it just sex or is it love? These are some of the questions that scientist Carlos Briones explores in Embarking on Your Curiosity, a narrative journey through the most compelling challenges of modern science in 52 thought-provoking chapters.

From the enigmas of artificial intelligence to the climate crisis, from the impact of pandemics to the surge of pseudosciences and fake news, the author emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and curiosity, combining scientific rigor with unmatched freshness and literary finesse.

The great questions that feed our insatiable curiosity are addressed through physics, engineering, geology, chemistry, biology, anthropology, and medicine. Yet, this book transcends the realm of science, weaving in references to mythology, philosophy, history, literature, cinema, music, visual arts, and the world of science fiction.

An invitation to question, learn, and embrace the boundless curiosity that drives human discovery in an intergenerational proposal that will captivate members of the Boomer, X, and Y generations, as well as Millennials and Generation Z.
