How Science Works

This is an exciting, mind-expanding and accessible visual guide to science. After an illuminating introductory ‘What Makes Science Special?’ there are sections on ‘Matter’; ‘Energy and Forces’; ‘Life’; ‘Space’ & ‘Earth’. Each of the 114 varied topics are explained on a 2-page spread with brilliant graphics. Magnificently illustrated and clearly written this revised edition(2025) of ‘How Science Works’, with new pages on AI & quantum computers, is an inspiring and stimulating book suitable for anyone wishing to understand basic and cutting-edge science.

How Science Works is a very informative book. Has a wide variety of science knowledge that is simple to understand. I highly recommend this book.

Not a bad book for beginners, but not really for adults, unless you are a bit light in the nouse department. The book bites off a lot and misses chewing it all.

I was looking for a book that would not be too basic and this one was a good choice. My 10 y.o. son was complaining that science books for kids only cover the very basics and do not give much information that he was seeking for, while the real science books are still too much for him. So this one became a great alternative as it covers many subjects and not too basic, but giving more details who are eager to know more. Certainly recommend it!

I love DK, I love this series of visually explained books (food, body, soon psychology) and have or will buy them all. A fantastic primer for children, or refresher for adults, I highly recommend this book and series to all that want to continually learn and grow. A specific example for me would be String Theory. I've heard of it frequently, but never knew just exactly what it was. The book affords me a simple and streamlined answer. Et Voilà!
