A top researcher on your bookshelves with EXPERIMENT NL 2
11 November 2009
Following the major success of the first part of EXPERIMENT NL, EXPERIMENT NL 2 is now in the shops. The fourth NWO book for the general public, Experiment NL 2, describes the most remarkable, brilliant, amusing and exciting research projects over the past year, in easily accessible language. Read how we can help shy people, why some sportsmen and women shave themselves, and how a baby chimpanzee grows up without being attended to.
There is a vast reservoir of scientific talent in the Netherlands. In Experiment NL 2, you can read about the research from the past year that will really fire your imagination. How do we get a grip of the crisis? How do we learn in 2009? Was life better once upon a time? And how do we use science to combat crime? You can read all about these issues in Experiment NL 2. Discover that you can best lay it on thick at a job interview. And how your doctor’s bill will be a bit less if you get out of the city and buy a house in the countryside.
Experiment NL 2 presents the most amusing, shrewd, funny and remarkable research projects funded by NWO over the past year, in easily accessible language. Researchers from every discipline have their say and show off their discoveries to anyone interested in science, innovation and the world around them. Dutch scientists tell you about their most remarkable discoveries and their philosophies about what might be possible in future. The clear, intriguing and surprising illustrations complete the book.
Now, science is not only something that everyone can understand, but it’s also easy to find and easy to afford. Experiment NL 2 will be on sale in bookshops, station kiosks, tobacconists and petrol stations for just €17.95.
This publication is the latest in a series including ‘Verwondering’ [Astonishment], Op onderzoek [Exploring] and Experiment NL 1. NWO’s idea with these annual publications is to showcase the fantastic research being undertaken in the Netherlands.
