4.0
This is a collection of short definitions/vingettes for many interesting terms, collected by Edge.org. The articles are on the extremely broad array of subjects: economics, physics, linguistics, psychology, medicine, environment, etc. They are collected in this book but also can be accessed for free on the website. Here are several articles I found interesting to name just a few:
The Genetic Book of the Dead
Mating Opportunity Costs
Sex
Fundamental Attribution Error
The Menger Sponge
