The Science Book

Gravity, evolution, quantum theory and the Big Bang are explained here as a connected story of how scientific ideas developed. Part of the Big Ideas Simply Explained series, the volume breaks each concept into a short explanation supported by diagrams, timelines and quotations from the people who shaped the field. Ideas appear in sequence, so a reader sees how one experiment or argument led to the next. What distinguishes this copy: • Landmark theories summarised without assuming earlier study • Visual mapping of ideas through flowcharts, timelines and diagrams • Portraits of the researchers behind major breakthroughs • Chapters spanning physics, chemistry, biology and earth science General readers, senior students and anyone rebuilding half-remembered science will find this DK Publishing volume at Boipoka.
