The most consise, informative and wide ranging book on the sciences you can buy. Each page contains around 3 paragraphs on either fundemental mathematics, Physic's/Chemestry/Biology and Astromony. Covering the very basics through to the most difficult to grasp ideas and theorys, all explained on a single page. Every description is illustrated with beautifully detailed whimsical images.
Above all else to tone of the book is perfect, Kids would love it as it's easy enough to understand, but adults will find the level of depth presise definitions a joy as well. I own a couple of other mini guides from the publisher and the standard of production is excellent throughout, even the inlay pagea are beautifully designed. I'm really quite passionate about this book because it really deserves to be recognised as a true benchmark in scientiffic understanding made accessible. it's the best book of it's type around, one to treasure for a long time.

I'm no boffin. The ideas and theories expressed in this book are not easily understood by me. From a young age I veered towards the arts. This is not to blame the quality of instruction at my school (although nobody in the history of education can hold a candle to the beautiful Miss Redhouse - she drank red wine, had long, lustrous coils of jet black hair, alluded to cool things like sex and hangovers and made listening to Chaucer a near transcendental experience). No, it had more to do with content. Science was not taught in context. I don't recall any mention of the philosophy which makes it so exciting (and contentious) nor any talk of the sense of wonder it can inspire. Perhaps I was dreaming too much of those "rockkes blake". I don't think so. It was all rather boring and this totally misses the point of science. It may be hard to comprehend, it may require serious brain stretching. It may drive you nuts as you try to get your head round quantum reality or the anthropic principle but it should never be boring. And here is a book written by people who understand this point precisely. The text is distilled and jargon-free. The illustrations, integral to each facing page of words, range from playful to exquisite. This is serious science with seductive style. Get it for anyone who loves learning. Get it for yourself. Better still, give a copy to your local secondary school.

I've just been going through this book and I am blown away with excitement about the nature of the world, cosmos, matter again! It's so inspiring to find a book that can go into such depth on the science side of things and match it all, almost page for page, with stunning prints and illustrations.
You can get a wonderful understanding of the science just from going through the pictures!
I'm sure there are some insights that I haven't seen written in print before anywhere outside the Wooden Books Series. Particularly in the astronomy section.
From my point of view, as a teacher who wanted broad general understanding of science, this has been great.
