Produktbeschreibung
Two books in one, these texts explore the two aspects of life that have most influenced mankind's fears and dreams. In Sex, Dorion Sagan takes the reader on a revealing and entertaining journey through science, philosophy, and literature. By combining evolutionary biology and discussions on thinkers such as the Marquis de Sade and Simone de Beauvoir, he addresses topics such as animals' genital tract, the sperm race, the difference between naked and nude, the origins of language and ovulation, and the concepts of love and loneliness. In Death, Tyler Volk describes the ways in which different creatures use death to make life better. Combining autobiography, biology, and world history, he highlights how death is part of evolution and how awareness of mortality affects people's daily lives. Dos libros en uno, estos textos exploran los dos aspectos de la vida que más han influido los miedos y los sueños de la humanidad. En Sexo, Dorion Sagan lleva al lector por un paseo revelador y divertido por la ciencia, la filosofía y la literatura. Entrelazando la biología evolutiva con discusiones sobre pensadores como el marqués de Sade y Simone de Beauvoir, trata cuestiones como el aparato genital de animales, la competición espermática, la diferencia entre desnudez y desnudo, los orígenes del lenguaje y de la ovulación y los conceptos del amor y la soledad. En Muerte, Tyler Volk nos muestra cómo diferentes criaturas se sirven de la muerte para mejorar la vida. Combinando autobiografía, biología e historia mundial, pone de relieve cómo la muerte forma parte de la evolución y cómo la conciencia de la mortalidad afecta la vida cotidiana de las personas.
