My Name Is Univers
My Name is Universe is a book of interviews with internationally renowned personalities through which some of the layers of knowledge included in the Periodic Table are revealed, recreated by Eugenia Balcells in the mural Homage to the Elements. Who would have thought that a work of art based on a scientific idea could explode like a veritable intellectual Big Bang and take us on a thrilling journey from atoms to galaxies through music, philosophy, art, cinema, chemistry, poetry, theater, dance, astrophysics, education, architecture, painting, quantum physics, religion or mathematics? My Name is Universe is a book in which science, the arts and the humanities are intertwined, appealing to the transversality and unity of knowledge. A text that cultivates an attitude of wonder at the world around us, the engine of artistic and scientific creation, and that stimulates the reader's curiosity and creativity.

Jordi Sabater Pi: l’últim naturalista
La història de Jordi Sabater Pi sembla una novel·la, però és ben real. Se’n va anar a l’Àfrica amb disset anys i va tornar a Barcelona trenta anys després convertit en un dels primatòlegs més reputats del món. I tot això sense tenir cap títol universitari. Pioner en l’estudi científic de goril·les i ximpanzés, Sabater Pi va fer aportacions que van transcendir la disciplina fins al punt de reformular la concepció d’humanitat que imperava en els cercles acadèmics. La seva trajectòria està marcada per la curiositat i la tenacitat, el respecte per la natura, la passió pel coneixement, una voluntat de ferro i també un gust romàntic per l’exploració científica a la manera dels naturalistes del segle XIX com Humboldt i Darwin, dels quals es considerava hereu. Per primera vegada, aquest llibre reconstrueix la història de Jordi Sabater Pi a partir de la correspondència que va mantenir mentre va viure a l’Àfrica. Amb una prosa vibrant com l’esponera de la selva tropical, l’autor hi retrata amb rigor i amenitat l’aventura vital i intel·lectual d’un dels científics més rellevants del nostre país.
Citizen Inquiry
Citizen Inquiry: Synthesising Science and Inquiry Learning is the first book of its kind to bring together the concepts of citizen science and inquiry-based learning to illustrate the pedagogical advantages of this approach. It shifts the emphasis of scientific investigations from scientists to the general public, by educating learners of all ages to determine their own research agenda and devise their own investigations underpinned by a model of scientific inquiry. ‘Citizen inquiry’ is an original approach to research education that refers to mass participation of the public in joining inquiry-led scientific investigations. Using a range of practical case studies underpinned by the theo...
