Inside Vogue1859 di David Quammen, Vogue Italia settembre 2020Vogue Italia di settembre, issue speciale per le cento copertine, raccoglie la riflessione sul senso dei numeri di alcuni scrittori. David Quammen ha scelto come numero significativo 1859, che “rappresenta uno spartiacque nella storia umana. Perché è l’anno in cui Charles Darwin pubblicò la sua opera più importante, L’origine delle specie”. David Quammen è, secondo Nature, “uno di quei rari esempi di giornalisti scientifici che uniscono l’esplorazione con uno speciale talento per la sintesi e la narrazione” ed è autore di quindici libri. L’ultimo pubblicato in Italia, “L’albero intricato” (Adelphi), mostra come le recenti scoperte nella biologia molecolare influenzino la nostra compre...

And these aren’t from cook fires. They are actually the byproducts of death and fossilization.

Jess, we learn, was told in an early math class not to give up her day job, and so she gave up on math—until she found Steven Strogatz, whose writing puts a human, topical, understandable face on numbers from algebra to calculus, and glories in seeing “the math in everything”. If you’re the master of a topic that seems too narrow, academic or wonky for a larger audience, consider finding fresh ways into the subject—or “every way,” says Strogatz. If you can’t rela...
