Explanations: Styles of Explanation in Science. 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.

It features contributions from expert writers from a wide range of disciplines, including science, philosophy, mathematics, and social anthropology.
