This Explains Everything[这就解释了一切]

This Explains Everything is an extraordinary collection of essays from some of the most brilliant minds in science. John Brockman, founder and publisher of Edge.org, assembled the world's top experts in numerous fields to discuss their favorite explanations for everyday occurrences. Brockman poses questions such as: why do we recognize patterns, and are we genetically programmed to be in conflict with each other? and the answers are provided in simple terms, making even the most complex concepts easy to grasp. Each essay is only a few pages long, and they are all fascinating and readable. The contributors include Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, Nassim Taleb, Brian Eno, and Steven Pinker, among others. What I love about this book is that it covers everything from psychology and neuroscience to economics and philosophy, but it never gets bogged down in jargon or technical language. This Explains Everything is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how things work in the world around us. Whether you're a science buff or just looking for some fascinating insights, this book is sure to provide you with plenty of food for thought.
