Science

Well its about the product review...its good and maybe you can find a little thin the papers in it but that's not gonna make this Visual guide from being called AWESOME..and Be careful of 1 thing...is When I bought this guide in 700/- from amazon.in,, after 1 day I found the price's been down to 549/-. Then when I decided to refund it,, there're no pickup service from amazon so you have to courier the product on your own and 1 more worst part is you have to pay for sending it too by courier..unlike other stores..And so that's why I do not recommend amazon to anyone to whom amazon can't provide the facility. That's it..

Hell Yeah!!! This book is awesome.DK has always been my favorite publisher because DK's books thoroughly provide knowledge about everything they publish. And this book IS MY FAVOURITE NOW. It explains very simple things like Archimedes' Principle and also very complex things like Quantum Physics, String Theory and Dark Energy in a very simple language. High quality pictures from the insides of our body to the twinkling stars make learning fun! This book just rocks!

gr8 book at gr8 price. The book is exactly what I had expected from Dorling Kindersley; Really amazing book. A must buy for high school students. It would have been good if all the topics were arranged by their category and not by the period when it was discovered/invented. The book was a bit damaged when i received it but after all it was a wonderful experience to buy this book from amazon.

Bringing out the best service of decades of intellectuals is a strenuous task which Adam Hart-Davis group done at its best ! Human generations of future has a lot of work to do to save Science acquired by Sacrifices difficulties : what more can a human being do for future gens - Kudos to Adam !!

I was pleasantly surprised by the book's quality, although it's edges had seen some wear.Paper quality is great, and there are a lot of animations to make it easier for kids.This is an excellent way to introduce kids to the wonders of the universe.

This is very good book , every man who wants to know more about science should have it. This is very good source of knowledge at this price.Every Science student must purchase this book and in schools it should be compulsoryLot of information , Book divided into 5 units, LOT of good quality pictures and information is much more that your expectation.

Contents and production standard are excellent - as I have come to expect from DK. Only the lettering is a bit small compared to the larger format of the same book. Obtained it at a bargain price - great value for money. Presented it as a gift and the whole family which received the gift enjoys the book.

This book is a treasure trove of information. Detailed sketches. Colored art pages and graphics that are mind blowing. Bought it for my son. But even I can learn so much from it. Bought it for 600 but it is worth more.

I have bought many of the DK "Definitive Visual Guide" books over the past few years. These have ranged in quality from the excellent ( Earth , Animal: The Definitive Visual Guide to the World's Wildlife , Human: The Definitive Guide to Our Species ), through the solid ( History: The Definitive Visual Guide - from the Dawn of Civilization to the Present Day , Ocean: The World's Last Wilderness Revealed ) to the occasional below-par effort ( Plant (Royal Botanic Gardens Kew) ).I am very happy to say that Science is probably the best book of the the entire series. It is packed with information, both technical and historical, and does an excellent job of explaining the complex in diagrams and text. My science-loving son was enthralled, and eager to read more of it.Best of all was the reference section near the back of the book, which summarises a great deal of human knowledge in a few pages - and includes the equations on which science is built. I can't find fault with this book, and it certainly deserves much recommendation!

DK over the years has perfected the pictorially driven, graphically sumptuous genre of reference type books, and this glorious book is a supreme example.Captured between these covers is the simplified sum of man's scientific understanding of nature, life and the universe - stunningly presented with thousand of photos, cut-away diagrams and thoughtful full-colour illustrations, backed-up with comprehensible and useful text.Typically, the book teems with time-lines, info-boxes and cameo pieces which help fill the gaps usually ignored by standard treatments, and help fix the knowledge in one's mind.DK is also to be credited with treating science as a human story as well, giving welcome space to the personal details of the thousands of men (and women) across the ages, who with extraordinary ingenuity and perseverance have unlocked Nature's secrets - arguably mankind's greatest achievement.Inevitably on such a vast subject there will be some carping about lack of depth and detail, and a bias (PC?) in material selection which seems to short-change the German contribution in favour of a wider spread of individuals from other nations.....for which as a payoff, I learnt about Spanish scientists (to name only one group) that I had never even heard of.....In an instance of un-PC contrast though, Einstein's wife Mileva who apparently did the maths and co-authored several of his early papers, still remains unacknowledged even here, in one imagines is deference to the image of the icon....But all this is a pretty trifling detraction from what is overall a brilliant, entertaining, enlightening and beautifully presented book.Worth every penny.

This is not a just a good book:it is an utterly magnificent book! It looked good on the Amazon web site but when I actually got it I was immediately enthralled. There was ‘nothing’ on TV that night so I curled up in a comfy chair and began to dip in at random. Then I followed themes: steam, electricity, chemistry and the structure of atoms and so on. I continue to be completely absorbed in it. This must be one of the most complete general science books ever compiled. It is by no means a text book but it is a highly inspiring book which can stimulated the reader to dig deeper elsewhere on a particular subject once their interest has been sparked. Anybody with the remotest interest in ‘science’ (10 years of age +) would be delighted with it. DK produce splendid books but with this volume they have exceeded themselves.

This book is utterly amazing! It's absolutely packed FULL of all the scientific knowledge your brain could ever need to take in. I've browsed through the book and know that I'm going to love this once I start reading it. I don't know whether these could be a COMPLETE substitute for other books (bit of a contradiction here, I know), but by hell, they come very close though. Anyone wanting to know about science, DEFINITLEY get this. I'm so pleased I did.

What a tome . DK Books have done it again . This book is a fantastic review of all aspects of science , from physics to biology . It is a great educational book for adults and older children studying for their GCSE's . It is fully illustrated with superb illustrations and photographs . The text is concise and lucid . Even I have learned a lot from this book , and I haven't finished yet .Excellent !
