The facts simply explained

If you're looking for a simple, visual guide to all the core sciences, this book is for you.

If you wonder how aeroplanes stay in the air, how holograms are made, or whether viruses really are living creatures, How Science Works will reveal all. This book uses clear, easy-to-understand graphics to explain difficult concepts—not only the core science topics that eluded us at school but also the cutting-edge science reported in the news, including the discovery of the Higgs boson, gravitational waves, and the mysteries of dark matter. This new edition is revised with the latest facts, figures, and discoveries, including new pages on artificial intelligence and quantum computing.
