Reviews:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbZu einem originellen Buch wie dem vorliegenden kann man kein Fazit
schreiben, ohne da\u00df man dann doch gleich wieder woanders hingeweht
wird \u2013 denn die vielen Anregungen darin k\u00f6nnen wie ein befreiender Wirbelsturm des Denkens wirken.\u00ab Till Kinzel, Informationsmittel<\/a> (IFB), 11 (2023)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bbDas Buch l\u00e4sst uns wie der Wind vom Alltag abheben, wir wundern uns und staunen. Ein Buch, das f\u00fcr neugierige und wissensbegierige Laien nur zu empfehlen ist und f\u00fcr Forschende aller Disziplinen ein Muss.\u00ab
