Sinossi

Strange Scientific Awards explores the often-overlooked world of unconventional research and the scientific curiosity that drives it. This book champions the importance of questioning assumptions and celebrates the unexpected discoveries that arise from seemingly whimsical experiments. Did you know that someone won an award for studying why pregnant women are not easily tipped over? Or that research exists on the science of procrastination? The book argues that even research projects that appear frivolous can offer invaluable lessons about methodology and human behavior.

 
Beginning with an introduction to "strange" scientific awards and their historical context, the book progresses through unusual animal behaviors, studies on seemingly inconsequential human problems, and an analysis of the broader implications of this type of science. It adopts a narrative non-fiction approach, blending engaging storytelling with rigorous scientific analysis, making it accessible and entertaining for general readers.

 
Ultimately, Strange Scientific Awards encourages a more open-minded approach to scientific investigation, highlighting how novelty in research, even in seemingly trivial areas, can unexpectedly lead to significant advancements. It demonstrates how questioning established paradigms can inspire creativity and contribute to meaningful innovation, touching upon the ongoing debate about research funding and the value of exploratory research.

Don't Upset ooMalume - A Guide...

Hombakazi Mercy Nqandeka

'Eli linge libaluleke kakhulu kumzi ontsundu olahlekileyo. Xa sivuselela izinto zenkcubeko yethu esalahlekana nazo ngonoquku, mhla kwafika iintlanga zasemzini.' – Dr Loyiso Nqevu
Returning to the family homestead in the Eastern Cape for the holidays, and worried that your city ways and less than perfect knowledge of Xhosa culture will get you a wagging finger in the face from ooMalume – the uncles?
No need to fret. Don't Upset ooMalume! captures the essence of Xhosa heritage and culture, and explores different aspects of village life. It covers a range of topics, from major Xhosa life ceremonies and traditional clothing, to the significance of uronta (the rondavel) and ubuhlanti (the kraal). Not forgetting the importance of traditional food, the author describes popular dishes, edible forage and even medicinal plants.
This book was born from writer and agriculturalist Hombakazki Mercy Nqandeka's concern that aspects of Xhosa heritage will be lost to future generations. By interweaving her guide to Xhosa culture with stories from her daily life at Mqele and Bulungula villages, and lessons taught to her by her mother and her late grandmothers, she hopes to help reconnect Xhosa people to their roots.
Akukho nto imnandi ngathi kukungeqiwa ziindaba xa kuncokolwa ngesiXhosa esintsokothileyo nesineziqhulo. Bathi bezincokolela abantu abadala bexuba nakwintetho yokuhlonipha ube usiva yonke into abayithethayo. Oko kubonisa ukuzingca nokuzingomba isifuba ngolwimi lakho lesiXhosa.
Le ncwadi yenzelwe abantu abasithandayo isiXhosa nabafuna ukufunda nzulu ngolwimi nenkcubeko yesiXhosa. Ungabadanisi ooMalume, lola isiXhosa sakho ngale ncwadi.
