The entropy of the salad

What does entropy have to do with salad? Why is sea water salty? Why is an hour divided into sixty minutes? Are we able to make our homes energy-independent? The answers to these and many other questions in a multidisciplinary journey, which ranges from meteorology, mathematics, acoustics, painting, cinema, literature and cooking science, just to name a few disciplines.
50 ironic and unusual chapters address the most disparate issues in a dense dialogue between apparently very distant subjects. The result is a sort of scientific “hymn” to human knowledge but also, at the same time, a compendium of informal ideas that act as a stimulus for further insights into everyday facts. The only requirement needed: a hint of curiosity.
