The Science Book: Everything You Need to Know About the World and How It Works (National Geographic)

User Review: - a great start into science
I love this book. Its a great start into science for the mainstream population, its very easy to read and understand. If you want to go into more technical aspects then choose another book, there are dozens of them out there. This book is for people who want to have a general view in the different subjects of science. Its great for both adults and kids.

User Review: - Very Disappointing!
"The Science Book" is definitely not up to expectations for a National Geographic product. The reason is quickly apparent - the book attempts to cover way too much ground - the universe, the earth, biology, chemistry, physics and technology, and mathematics, with an emphasis in each topic on current developments and future potential. In addition, each topic is further broken down - eg. mathematics includes history of mathematics, classical mathematics, analytic geometry, infinitesimal calculus, probability, pure and applied mathematics, and new mathematics. As a result, the book is unable to cover anything well.
