'Almost Everyone's Guide to Science' was the first 'grown-up' science book I ever read; having miraculously saved enough pocket money, my ten-year-old self plucked a copy from the shelves of WHSmith and spent the next week or so reading and rereading it, almost obsessively. I simply loved it. Thirteen years on I can't recall the book's contents in any detail, but the effect it had on me as a child was significant: not only did I thoroughly enjoy reading it but it undoubtedly fuelled my later enthusiasm for all areas of science. So, risking some form of retrospective arrogance, I would say that this is a wonderful book for any precociously-literate child with a spark of enthusiasm for the subject. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
John Gribbin is one of the few science writers who is equally comfortable writing about biology as about physics, and this beginner's guide will take the reader through the basics and the fundamental issues of the crucial areas of modern science, from the birth of the universe through to the evolution of our own species, the nature of human behaviour and the workings of our minds. Crucially, the book will not only provide an overview of the central areas in a single volume, but also explain how the areas link up, what evolutionary theory has to say bout how we think, how sub-atomic particles came into being in the big bang, and atoms in stars.
