The New Scientist magazine regularly publishes books that make the various areas of science accessible to all of us – both authoritative and at the cutting edge. This latest one focuses on the human condition, the experience of being alive and the events and stages we face in our journey through life. It will tell you what science tells us about generosity, belief, disgust, why we pick up bad habits and find it hard to kick them. It covers life’s phases from birth to death, how children change their parents and the upsides of old age. With entertaining infographics and great photographs, this book takes us on a very enjoyable exploration of what it is to be human.
