Because this is a book of humor and anecdotes about science and scientists (in addition to a considerable number of jokes we just happened to like), there are lots of stories about the work of making sense of the world, about explanations and the people who give them (sometimes known as teachers), and about the wild language and weird concepts of scientific explanations.
