Diccionario del asombro

How did words like "clone", "supernova" or "robot" come to us? When were all these words that we use daily created and with what criteria? By trying to answer these questions, science journalist and writer Antonio Martínez Ron shows us that, if placed on a timeline, the appearance of scientific terms is in itself a new way of telling the history of science. This dictionary is a journey from the "A for Atom" to the "Z for Zoonosis" documenting the exact moment in which words such as "microscope", "neuron", "laser" or "pixel" were created and which It was the discussion to choose those terms and not others. The result is a chronicle of how, forced to invent names for new discoveries, science became an engine of language. And how scientists dedicated themselves to the task of labeling astonishment.
