Description
The latest updated edition of DK's amazing Knowledge Encyclopedia Science!
See science as you've never seen it before.
The new edition of Knowledge Encyclopedia Science has a ground-breaking visual approach to science, using awesome illustrations to show biology, chemistry, and physics in the world around us. Incredible computer-generated images pack the pages to reveal and explain science, including looking inside a cell, pulling apart the ever-present electronics in our lives to see how they work, showing how ships stay afloat, and examining the forces that hold the Universe together.
Knowledge Encyclopedia Science covers all the key core science subjects, but with an inventive visual approach to draw in curious young minds. All the essential information is there in easy-to-read text, together with additional fun facts, and brought to life with amazing 3D illustrations that look inside the anatomy of a blue whale, zoom into a molecule of water, and out of the Solar System.
Part of DK's hugely successful Knowledge Encyclopedia series, this new edition is the perfect accompaniment to the school syllabus and an essential addition to every family library.
