Bufale bestiali
There are many absurdities about animals, given for good even by well informed people. Maybe it’s the fault of cartoons and comics that show for example superheroes equiped with a prescient “spider sense”, while in real life these 8-legged animals are sucked by the vacuum-cleaner without having the slightest suspicion. The scientific divulgator Graziano Ciocca collects and dispels the most widespread false beliefs in an exhilarating book that tells us everything about stinks, fears, poisons and gruesome deaths that populate the animal world. An original access key to help kids discover how things really go in nature, from how sense of smell works to defense techniques and to environmental adaptation strategies and many other things. THey will thus learn how astonishing can be the nature around us, because animals really have some extraordinary superpowers…but they are different from those we believe!
Graziano Ciocca is a biologist and a scientific divulgator. He is the president of the cultural association G.Eco that works on the dissemination of scientific culture in schools and with the general public. With his first book I tori odiano il rosso in 2015 he won the award of national scientific divulgation in the category under 35.
