product description
Beautifully accessible explanations of the complex forces that shape our world, from economics to physics, biology to philosophy, from the acclaimed science writer. Why do we breathe? What is money? How does the brain work? Why did life invent sex? Does time really exist? How does capitalism work - or not, as the case may be? Where do mountains come from? How do computers work? How did humans get to dominate the Earth? Why is there something rather than nothing?
