Science Book, The: Everything You Need to Know About the World and How It Works

I bought this for my nephew. He loves it. It’s a good book for kids to learn with

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!

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.

Excellent livre

... 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).

I ordered this book with the intent to use for homeschooling. I did request a replacement as the first book arrived with bent corners and tears along the edges of the book which I don't believe anyone should pay $20+ for in a worn condition. With that being said the replacement came in the same condition. Very disappointing, cutting our losses on this one and returning.

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.

Gave this as a gift. The 12 year old boy loved it!
