A wise, enlightening, necessary, and highly enjoyable handbook for confused parents and their curious children, Gemma Elwin Harris has gathered the compelling questions from precocious elementary school children—questions that have long perplexed even intelligent adults—and has assembled a remarkable team of scientists, experts, philosophers, and writers to answer them.
Experts who answer children's important questions ("Do animals have feelings?", "Why can't I tickle myself?", "Who is God?") include writers Mary Roach, Gavin Pretor-Pinney, Marcus Chown, Jeanette Winterson, and Phillip Pullman, psychologist Claudia Hammond, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, chef Gordon Ramsay, adventurer Bear Grylls, and linguist Noam Chomsky, physicist Jim Al-Khalili, mathematician Marcus du Sautoy, and others.
