Science is a vast subject and our understanding of the way the world works is growing all the time. No book could hope to include everythingt that science has discovered, but this book includes all of the essential facts about all the really key areas.

Science made easy 3 Jun 2011
By ACE1
Format:Paperback
A great introduction to science for anyone who is interested in learning more about this fascinating subject.

Written in a fun and informative style, the author has made science easy to understand and gives an excellent overview of the subject as a whole. Each chapter focuses on a different area of science, covering everything from the big bang right through to what the future may bring.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn or deepen their knowledge of science.

Format:Kindle Edition
A thought provoking publication and remarkable introduction to science matters from the author.

The subject matter is easy to understand for those of us that are not experts in the field of science and the chapters are well structured. The book does cover a wide variation of subjects which leads the reader to consider the holistic picture of science and how scienec is all around us in everyday life.

I would recommend this publication as an introducion to the world of science.

Format:Paperback
I like a book that is easy to read, but challenges you in some way. This one hits the mark because it's subject matter is complex and well beyond the science I learned in Education but the presentation trips along at a good pace, without ever diving so deep to be boring. I know a little more, about a lot more science than when I started the book and the chapter references give me the opportunity to do more research should I want to. It reminds me of Bill Bryson's 'brief history or everything' and has been a better buy than Alex's Adventure's in Numberland which I have started now 3 times and not yet finished!
