Also, it seems that they (New Scientist) regularly publish such a book, compiled of Q&A's and ordered by theme. Selecting appropriate questions and answers that fit best to those questions.
In this new book, 132 questions and several more answers (as there were sometimes more answers per question, from various readers, including experts in those specific fields) offer a very informative and interesting way on many aspects of life. Themes range from Earth, Space, Physics, Health, Meteorology, Cognition, Biology, and more, to Biology, Evolution, Transport, and Various / The Rest.
The index at the back is a helpful means to find an answer to a specific item.
You don't have to read the book from start to finish. Just select a theme and question whenever you like. While the book is made to be accessible for a large audience, some technical jargon will be part of the answers as well, obviously. Sometimes a certain answer, depending on your preferences, will not provide enough information or reasoning.
Regardless of this small issue, I can recommend Question Everything, as you can pick it up any time you want to and read something from it now and then, and at the same time refresh or expand your knowledge on many things that happen / exist in life. ( )
