|
||
|
|
A science book like no other, The Where, the Why, and the How turns loose 75 of
|
||
|
|
today's hottest artists onto life's vast questions, from how we got here to
|
||
|
|
where we are going. Inside these pages some of the biggest (and smallest)
|
||
|
|
mysteries of the natural world are explained in essays by real working
|
||
|
|
scientists, which are then illustrated by artists given free rein to be as
|
||
|
|
literal or as imaginative as they like. The result is a celebration of the
|
||
|
|
wonder that inspires every new discovery. Featuring work by such contemporary
|
||
|
|
luminaries as Lisa Congdon, Jen Corace, Neil Farber, Susie Ghahremani,
|
||
|
|
Jeremyville, and many more, this is a work of scientific and artistic
|
||
|
|
exploration to pique the interest of both the intellectually and imaginatively
|
||
|
|
curious.</p>

|
<p>(This is getting quite common on my reviews but) This is a weird book.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Now, don't get me wrong: The idea the title gives is that they are going to
|
||
|
|
give you the where, the why and the how, but they actually mean the questions
|
||
|
|
"where", "why" and "how". A lot of the answers is, basically, "we don't know
|
||
|
|
yet" -- which, by the way, is completely fine, specially when dealing with
|
||
|
|
proper science.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, the questions are not really "trivia"-like: they go more deep than simply
|
||
|
|
"Why are plants green?" and the like. And, because you have no certain
|
||
|
|
questions, it gets even more nerd-like -- which, again, is completely fine.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>(Also, the illustrations: meh) </p>
