This Explains Everything: Deep, Beautiful, and Elegant Theories of How the World Works by John Brockman

4.0

This is not a book you sit down and read cover to cover. It's a collection of very short essays, from one to four pages each, that elucidate a series of scientific theories.

I used this book like a daily "devotional," reading one or two essays each day. There are a lot of interesting essays by a lot of really smart people in this book.
