This short book gives an overview of all of scientific history along with anecdotes that illustrate each particular facet of science. Kids often learn science in pieces and never have a way of putting it all together nor have a guide to pursue aspects they may be more interested in. It covers all the main topics before you reach high school and would be a good review platform to aid in answering many test questions. Adults should find it interesting as a digest to fill in gaps in their education or bring them more up to date. Teachers can use it with many ages to assure adequate coverage in their curricula or as enrichment.
WHY THIS BOOK?
Three reasons: Because science has made modern life possible and will continue to improve your lives. Because science provides a way of thinking that is useful in solving all sorts of problems. Because little pieces make more sense if you see where they fit in the whole.
