Our lives, states of health, relationships, behaviour, experiences of the natural        world, and the technologies that shape our contemporary existence are subject to a        superfluity of competing, multi-faceted and sometimes incompatible explanations.          Widespread confusion about the nature of 'explanation' and its scope and limits        pervades popular exposition of the natural sciences, popular history and philosophy        of science. This fascinating and intriguing book explores the wayexplanations work,        why they vary between disciplines, periods, and cultures, and whether they have any        necessary boundaries. In other words, Explanations aims to achieve a better        understanding of explanation, both within the sciences and the humanities. It        features contributions from expert writers from a widerange of disciplines,        including science, philosophy, mathematics, and social anthropology.
