Description
The Fire Pit in the Living Room presents a collection of texts by two well-known biologists, Vojtěch Novotný and Jan Zrzavý, in which they humorously comment on current events in science and society. They give us insight into the practical workings of scientific research, poke fun at their colleagues, debunk many entrenched myths, and mock dogmatists of all ideological currents. Here we find a crane in the jungle or a war of ladybugs, learn how Neanderthals influenced our love for tobacco, or why we have a weakness for apocalyptic prophecies. Novotný and Zrzavý's essays are more than just about biology; they are about our behavior and the society we live in.
