Synopsis

An essential, encylopedic introduction to physics, chemistry, and biology.

You'll be firing on all cylinders with this science spectacular!

The exciting exploration of biology, chemistry, and physics is vital reading for curious minds. Science becomes simple and straightforward, so you never get your wires crossed again. What makes a firework go bang? How do plants make food from sunlight? What makes a robot clever? Find the answers to all these questions and much, much more.

Biology is all about you, living things, and the rest of the natural world. Learn all about your amazing body and more than 1,000 parts that keep it going. Chemistry presents an explosive look at the tiny atoms that build together to create all the brilliant things in the world today. Physics introduces the full force of everything, from electricity and energy to magnetism and machines.

All three subjects are examined in extraordinary detail, making Science: A Children's Encyclopedia an absolutely essential addition to each and every family.

Goodreads review by Kathie on June 21, 2014

I received an Advanced Reader Copy thru Goodreads first reader program. I am not a science whiz in any way, shape, or form. I have watched Big Bang Theory and heard Schrodinger's cat mentioned as well as Oppenheimer and other scientists. It all kind of went over my head. This book takes a scientist,......more

Goodreads review by Audrius on May 16, 2021

Visai nebloga knyga, ypač jeigu ruošiamasi skaityti konkretesnės tematikos moklso populiarinimo knygą. Nors ir nėra išsiplečiama skyriuose, kurie mane domina labiau, tačiau viską atperka ne tik pačių žymiausių, bet ir kitų mažiau žinomų, tačiau mokslo istorijai svarbių žmonių paminėjimas. Tai leidži......more

Odporúčam : každému, kto si chce doplniť, alebo osviežiť poznatky z oblasti vedy a medicíny Neodporúčam : ak nemáte radi väčšie formáty kníh a veľa písaného textu Vždy ma udivuje, koľko poznatkov z medicíny a vedy vedeli ľudia už dávno pred touto súčastnou dobou. Sú to poznatky, z ktorých dodnes čer......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on June 01, 2018

This book wasn’t really one much with a plot, but one with lots of thin......more

Goodreads review by Tauras on August 11, 2019

Puiki knyga apžvelgianti gamtos mokslų progresą per visą žmonijos istoriją. Kaip studijavusiam fiziką daugelis dalykų buvo jau žinomi, visgi, ši knyga padėjo kontekstualizuoti vieną atradimą visų kitų apsuptyje. Ji parodė kaip kai kurios idėjos darė įtaką ne vienai ateities mokslininkų kartai. Vertini......more
