«¿Cuánto pesa el alma?» is the popular science essay by Len Fisher, published by Debate in hardcover (272 pages, in Spanish).
Len Fisher reviews risky scientific experiments that defied the logic of their time and, despite rejection or ridicule, sometimes led to exceptional discoveries. Through the human stories surrounding them, he shows how common sense can hold back science and raises how difficult it is to distinguish a brilliant idea from a crazy one.
Translation by Juan Manuel Ibeas Delgado. The Spanish edition was published on September 18, 2009.
It is aimed at a general audience curious about science and the unusual anecdotes of scientific research.
