DOMİNGO YAYINEVİ
Küçük İnsanlardan Büyük Sorular by Gemma Elwin Harris
FIRST CHILDREN did what they do best and rattled off a string of wits and imaginations that baffled adults: Why is the sea salty? Why can't I tickle myself? Is it normal to eat worms? How do we fall in love? Who is God? Why can't we fly? Why is our urine yellow? How far away is space? What are dreams made of? Are we all related? Why are some people evil? Why is the Earth round? Is time travel possible? Does a bee sting another bee? And dozens more questions... Then, world-renowned scientists, writers, philosophers, and artists answered each question in a simple and enjoyable way, as if they were explaining it to their own children: Alain De Botton, Richard Dawkins, Noam Chomsky, David Nicholls, Jarvis Cocker, Marcus Chown, Jim Al-Khalili, Philippa Gregory, David Eagleman, Philip Pullman, Sir David Attenborough, A. C. Grayling, Kelly Holmes, and dozens more very important people.
