Edge - Pop-znanstvene knjige za plažu




Čudesni Edge, znanstveni portal Johna Brockmana, preporuča knjige za plažu koje bi mogle zanimati one "pametne", naročito ljubitelje popularne znanosti. Vjerojatno bi ta plaža trebala biti na nekom planetu na kojem godišnji odmor traje vječno. I gdje su čak i palma i pijesak pametniji od vas, a to vam uopće ne smeta.
