¿POR QUE A LOS PATOS NO SE LES ENFRIAN LOS PIES?
Czerski H.
En¿Por qué a los patos no se les enfrían los pies?, Helen Czerski da respuesta a algunas preguntas complejas del estilo de: ¿cómo viaja el agua desde las raíces de una secuoya hasta la copa? ¿Cómo consiguen los patos mantener los pies calientes cuando caminan sobre hielo? ¿Por qué la leche, al echarla al té, se asemeja tanto a un remolino de nubes de tormenta? Czerski, de una forma cercana y audaz, comparte sus conocimientos para levantar el velo de la familiaridad de lo ordinario.
