El mapa de las maravillas

We live in a known world, with hardly any territories to explore. But is this hunger for knowledge making us forget the ability to admire our surroundings, the essence of what it means to be human? With the curiosity and enthusiasm of a great explorer, award-winning writer Caspar Henderson travels the cosmos and the nature that surrounds and inhabits us, offering us a delightful map of the world to guide us in our quest for the wonders of the modern world. Along the way, he celebrates and explains to us the miracle of light and the origins of the universe, the many wonders of the human body and reveals to us those to come, the technologies that will transform the human experience. On a fascinating walk through time through philosophy and natural history, art and religion, neuroscience and nanotechnology, Henderson invites us to join him in singing him to life. The map of wonders is a dazzling and amazing guide to learning to see the world around us with a new look, an invitation to seek the wonderful in our daily lives.
