This Will Make You Smarter

A collection of very short essays edited by John Brockman, this book contains ideas from some of the most interesting thinkers of our time, such as Richard Dawkins, Craig Venter, Lisa Randall, and many others. It's great for keeping in the bathroom, or by the bed when you want something fast and easy to absorb. Even though the essays are short, the ideas are often deep and provocative.
