An entertaining and genuinely informative compilation of answers to some of life's most improbable questions, from the writers of the online magazine Slate.

Full of fascinating information about unlikely but important subjects, The Explainer will entertain and inform anyone who has ever stopped to wonder who runs Antarctica, how cell phones can reveal your location, or whether one can live off lizard meat.
