| Synopsis | In this new installment of the Opúsculos collection, Antonio Lazcano Araujo brings together eight brief texts centered on wonder, amazement, and curiosity—faculties that can either be the seed for inquiry and creation or the effect produced by a long series of works and events, such as those that led to the emergence of natural history museums and aquariums around the world. Nature is not the only thing that dazzles and surprises; human beings do as well, marveling at it, studying it, and transforming it. By recovering facts and anecdotes about Darwin’s grandfather, Alfonso L. Herrera, Lucretius, and Lynn Margulis, among others, the author reminds us that “we could do very little without the legacy left to us” by previous generations. For that reason, this volume also contains heartfelt tributes to people with whom the author has had direct or indirect contact, and whose work continues to change the way we see reality. |
