In This Explains Everything, John Brockman, founder and publisher
of Edge.org, asked experts in numerous fields and disciplines to
come up with their favorite explanations for everyday

as positive stress? Are we genetically programmed to be in
conflict with each other? Those are just some of the 150
questions that the world's best scientific minds answer with
elegant simplicity.
With contributions from Jared Diamond, Richard Dawkins, Nassim
Taleb, Brian Eno, Steven Pinker, and more, everything is
explained in fun, uncomplicated terms that make the most complex
concepts easy to comprehend.
