Críticas:

"Funny, clever and altogether effervescent... Kean writes superbly about science itself... A joy for any reader" (James McConnachie The Sunday Times)
"There is no denying the pleasure and indeed the wealth of scientific information to be obtained from reading Caesar’s Last Breath. It will change forever the way I think about breathing." (Financial Times)
"Kean is the teacher you wish you'd had: genial, companionable and infectiously enthusiastic. This is an entertaining and accessible guide to the mysterious vapour of gases. Popular science at its best." (Simon Humphreys Mail on Sunday)
"It’s a helluva read. And it’s a gas." (Tim Radford The Guardian)
"An altogether excellent read, an invigorating and stylish mixture of chemistry, history and reportage that brings to light many of the untold stories of the air that surrounds and sustains us" (Times Literary Supplement)
"This vibrant, fact-filled science book makes the chemistry of air riveting" (Sunday Times Must Reads)
"Told with Kean’s trademark combination of goofy wisecracking and an exceptional knack for communicating the principles of science" (Wall Street Journal)
"Fascinating stories, so insightful, informative, and disarmingly written. It gave this astronaut a new respect for the air around us all, and made me delightfully more aware of each breath I take." (Col. Chris Hadfield, author of An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth)
"Brims with such fascinating tales of chemical history that it'll change the very way you think about breathing.... Kean crams the book full of wild yarns told with humorously dramatic flair.... The effect is oddly intimate, the way all good storytelling is -- you feel like you're sharing moments of geeky amusement with a particularly hip chemistry teacher" (San Francisco Chronicle)

With every breath, you literally inhale the history of the world. On the ides of March, 44 BC, Julius Caesar died of stab wounds in the Roman Senate, but the story of his last breath is still unfolding. In fact, you're probably inhaling some of it now. Of the sextillions of molecules entering or leaving your lungs at this moment, some might also bear traces of Cleopatra's perfumes, German mustard gas, particles exhaled by dinosaurs or emitted by atomic bombs, even remnants of stardust from the universe's creation.
In Caesar’s Last Breath, New York Times bestselling author Sam Kean takes us on a journey through the periodic table, around the globe and across time to tell the epic story of the air we breathe.
