Author Claire Watts and illustrators Lisa Swerling and Ralph Lazar. Published by Dorling Kindersley, 2009
Have some fun with science. This fascinating title is a blend of cartoon characters, mind challenging puns and serious scientific facts.
Each page opening deals with a segment of science, explaining key ideas and concepts in clear concise paragraphs. The Brainwaves, small cartoon characters, weave their way through the pages, interacting with the themes that are introduced and with each other.
The cartoons may distract some readers, but for the keen scientist this would provide a fun way to learn about, or revise, the key ideas of Physics, Chemistry and Biology. A good book to browse in the library or at home on a wet weekend.
Other books in this series from DK and the Brainwaves are
How nearly everything was invented
How the incredible human body works
The most stupendous atlas of the whole world.
and another due out later this year The Greatest intergalactic guide to space ever.
