The Science Book: Everything You Need to Know About the World and How It Works encapsulates centuries of scientific thought in one volume. Natural phenomena, revolutionary inventions, scientific facts, and the most up-to-date questions are all explained in detailed text that is complemented by visually arresting graphics. Six major sections ranging from the universe and the planet Earth to biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics are further broken down into subsections that encompass everything from microscopic life to nuclear power. The Science Book covers a wide range of scientific areas, providing both a general overview of topics for the browsing reader, and more specific information for those who wish to obtain in-depth insight into a particular subject area. Natural phenomena, revolutionary inventions, scientific facts, and up-to-date questions are explained in detailed texts. The vivid illustrations, pictures, and graphics throughout the book make the information even more accessible and comprehensible. Within the book, the theory of the universe and the character of the earth are detailed, along with an overview of the diverse living organisms that can be found on Earth. The technical developments and achievements of humankind are discussed and we pay particular attention to subjects of current interest, like climate change and genetic engineering. The well-structured organization of this book with its numerous sections and chapters offers the reader an entertaining introduction into the large field of natural sciences and allows just as well for quick reference. Events and issues of special significance are discussed in greater detail in side bars of 3 different kinds. Numerous cross-references within the chapters and to other sections of the book emphasize the many links between the individual scientific fields. Illustrative elements, such as 3-D-graphics and pictograms and the great variety of photographic material make even the most complex information easy Review: GET READY, NERDS! - Got this as a present for my 11 year old daughter, and I'm probably more excited about this book than she is. It breaks down the sciences into broad categories, goes into the history of these fields and early innovators, then developes into core lessons. The image quality is wonderful, but don't let that fool you, there is ample reading on all the pages. Neat fold out charts and diagrams. Went with hardback because I'm old school. 10/10 *WARNING* Contains no socio-political bias. Is indeed heavily FACTUAL. Go Canes. Review: Science book - My son really likes science and he likes everything about this science book. It’s a great reference for kids and adults. It has great pictures and accurate information about biology, anatomy and all kinds of science topics.

Great for science nerds of all kinds!
I bought this as a Christmas present for my then 10-year old son last year. I don't think he looked at it a ton until recently, but he's super into it now. It has tons of information, so none of it is super in depth, but it's not terribly superficial, either. (How's that for vague? Haha!) It's kind of like an encyclopedia for science. Has a fair amount of information on many, many topics, including physics, dinosaurs, technology, and biology. It's great. It's been engaging enough that he's wanted to investigate more in depth on some of the topics on his own. He's pretty science minded and I'm not, so it's also been great at answering certain questions that mom can't. In general, I would recommend this book for older kids though. Even though he's super bright, it definitely has a fair amount that's over his head. That's ok for him because he's persistent and obsessed with science, so your mileage may vary!

Masterpiece if ...
... YOU 1) don't have a 'hard science' background and 2) would like to have a great all-in-one science encyclopedia, you will most likely LOVE this book. The book contains excellent material, concise yet fairly complete, beautifully illustrated and ... simply fantastic to read and flip through the topics you just feel reading. The writers were bold and claim that the books contains 'everything you need to know about the world and how it works'. I cannot judge the validity of this statement while I feel it covers all the big points in the hard science world nicely. Excellent structure; THE UNIVERSE, THE EARTH, BIOLOGIE, CHEMISTRY, PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY & MATHEMATICS. I strongly feel that this book is a masterpiece for readers fulfilling the two points above (incl. myself).

Beautiful Book, Poor Packaging
The book itself is beautiful. Large pictures, very engaging. Concise explanations, spread out enough for a reluctant reader. A myriad of scientific topics. The only issue was the packaging. For such a big beautiful book, it should have had better packaging that would have kept it from moving around in the package. It arrived in a box that was larger than the book but nothing inside to keep it from moving. So the back 10 or so pages was dogeared inward from shifting inside the box.

The only thing I would say negative is its a pity that Amazon didnt have the most up to date version in, but it is still an excellent book ideal for dipping into. You dont have to sit and read it all in one go, great reference book.
