内容简介

The world can be an amazing place if you know the right questions to ask:

How did carrots become orange? What's stopping us from having a four-day week? How can we remove all the broken bits of satellite from orbit? If everything is so terrible, why is the global suicide rate falling?

The keen minds of the Economist love to look beyond everyday appearances to find out what really makes things tick. In this latest collection of The Economist Explains, they have gathered together the juiciest fruits of their never-ending quest for answers. For an uncommonly interesting read, take a peek at some Uncommon Knowledge - and pass it on! The world only gets more amazing when discoveries are shared.

    提到的问题大多有趣,解释过于剪短,粗浅的成人版十万个为什么。不过作为第一本完整读完的英文书,值得纪念一下。05-05

    The third book in the “explainers” series is also an assortment of articles whose topics range from economics and technology to medicine and sociology. It’s not something taxing your mind though every now and then you have to stop and think what these passages are really about. 04-17
