What’s the deal with dark matter? Why do cats purr? How does the brain give way to the mind? Sure you could search for the answer with a few simple clicks, but you’d discover that there are still some questions that science can’t seem to crack! In this hardbound collaboration between creative visual artists, smart scientists, inquisitive philosophers, and clever characters, a series of 75 classically curious questions are explained and illustrated with great imagination. As you examine each mini-essay and its corresponding artwork, this textbook-inspired tomb from Chronicle Books welcomes you to marvel in each mystery and delight in daydreaming, rather than yearning for a salient solution. Rendered in the colorful retro style of classroom diagrams from the 1950s, these pictorial ponderings will reinvigorate your interest in the fields of science, philosophy, human behavior, history, and the unknown!
