The Genius Who Never Existed and other Short Stories from Science, History and Philosophy
"Each chapter in this book explains a complex problem through moving, amusing and marvellous stories. Sašo Dolenc’s recurring theme is the elusive and often eccentric nature of inspiration; but in exploring it he covers an immense variety of subjects, from meteorology to microbiology, computer technology to market theory. His readers will gain a succinct and satisfying lesson on each topic, and a sense overall of the labour, genius and luck that science demands." — John Stubbs, author of John Donne: The Reformed Soul and Reprobates: The Cavaliers of the English Civil War "Great fun. Like Malcolm Gladwell, Dolenc writes about complicated science in a clear, accessible way that entertains and educates. The smarter and better the writer, the clearer and simpler he will make concepts that are difficult to grasp. Reading this book is a pleasure you can learn from." — Noah Charney, best-selling author of The Art Thief and Stealing the Mystic Lamb
The Man Who Counted Infinity and Other Short Stories from Science, History and Philosophy
“If I were the only survivor on a remote island and all I had with me were this book, a Swiss army knife and a bottle, I would throw the bottle into the sea with the note: ‘Don’t worry, I have everything I need.’” — Ciril Horjak, alias Dr. Horowitz, a comic artist “The writing is understandable, but never simplistic. Instructive, but never patronizing. Straightforward, but never trivial. In-depth, but never too intense.” — Ali Žerdin, editor at Delo, the main Slovenian newspaper “Does science think? Heidegger once answered this question with a decisive No. The writings on modern science skillfully penned by Sašo Dolenc, these small stories about big stories, quickly con...

Nove kratke zgodbe o skoraj vsem : o možganih, idejah in ljudeh
"Razumljivo, a nikdar ceneno. Poučno, a nikdar pokroviteljsko. Enostavno, a nikdar trivialno. Poglobljeno, a nikdar zateženo." (Ali Žerdin) "Nove kratke zgodbe o skoraj vsem so mentalni fitnes in zabaviščni park hkrati, Sašo Dolenc pa pravi čarovnik, ki navadnim smrtnikom težko razumljive enigme znanosti spreminja v slastne in hranljive bralne zalogaje, ne da bi se pomen izgubil v prevodu. Knjiga, ki jo odložimo pametnejši, kot smo jo vzeli v roke!" (Tina Košir) "Male zgodbe o velikih zgodbah ... v najboljši tradiciji populariziranja znanstvene vednosti, njenih dosežkov, dilem in zagat." (Mladen Dolar)

Kratke zgodbe o skoraj vsem : 4. zvezek
S platnic: "Spomladi leta 1941 so na vrata brunarice v tirolskih Alpah severno od Bolzana, kjer je s svojim sinom Mariom živela mlada boemska pesnica Lucy Ramberg, potrkali vojaki. Čeprav so govorili nemško, je deček zelo dobro razumel, da matere, ko bo morala oditi s pripadniki SS, morda nikoli več ne bo videl. Po materini aretaciji je komaj triinpolletni Mario za dobro leto ostal pri znancih na bližnji kmetiji, nato pa se je sam potikal po severni Italiji, se družil z drugimi potepuškimi otroki, bil član pocestnih tolp ter bil večkrat v najrazličnejših sirotišnicah. Kot se spominja, je bil neprestano lačen in priča mnogim grozljivim dogodkom, zaradi katerih so ga kasneje še dolga leta tlačile more. ...Leta 2007 so Mariu Capecchiju podelili Nobelovo nagrado za medicino."
