Sciencia: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Astronomy for All (Wooden Books)

My son loves this book. I really like the quality, the information on each topic is short but precise, urges you to investigate more.

It contains short and concise explanations of natural events, forces, and environments that humans can observe empirically. Formulas are included along with explanations of their functions. The illustrations are very nice, but they tend to be a bit "cute" in some places, and there were a few times that I encountered over-simplified images that left out important details that will lead to misinformation, though this was very rare, probably one in five or so.There's not much like this out there. If the illustrations that were lacking could be cleaned up/redone in a better manner, I'd have no problem with this book. I haven't the heart to give it a four though, as it's very useful a guide. I'd recommend this to anyone.tl:dr ?It's around 400 pages of beautiful, wonderful natural science and math. :)

I bought this as a gift for a friend I recently inducted into the world of engineering. I wanted to read it before I sent it off, and wow... I really need to get my own. Since I was old enough to bike to my hometown's university bookstore, I have LOVED Wooden Books; the sames goes nearly 10 years later. This is a straight reprinting of 6 books rebound into one volume, all which would be ~$10 each:1) QED2) Useful Mathematical & Physical Formulae3) Essential Elements4) Evolution5) The Human Body6) The Compact CosmosHow could you do better for $12?I'm getting a copy of Quadrivium too. So should you.

This is a great book with a little bit of everything. I really like the way the book is organized, and I can read about just a topic or two, and sit for a longer read. It has great coverage with interesting topic, it's well written, and is bound well. The cover is beautiful. The photo doesn't do it justice. But better still it's contents are great.

I think this is a very good book for what it is, Something to whet the appetites of those who may be just getting started in their own journey of knowledge. It serves as a primer rather than the final authority on the topics within. I enjoy just jumping in and having it at the ready to keep my brain moving. That being said is does fall short in some topics and does not flow well. But again for what it is, it fits the bill also it's very cheap.

good info

My 14 year old really wanted this for Christmas. He found it in a big chain book store and I refused to pay that price for it. So, I ordered it from amazon and we were very pleased with it. The content is fascinating and organized in a manner that is easily understood. Definitely a recommendation for anyone wanting to expand their limited knowledge in the science department!

GOT THIS AS A GIFT FOR MY BROTHER. ALSO GOT HIM SCIENTIFICA. HE USES BOTH BOOKS AS REFERENCES AND CROSS REFERENCES. HE TELLS ME HE CAN SPEND HOURS UPON HOURS GOING FROM SUBJECT TO SUBJECT. HE WOULD NOT PART WAYS WITH EITHER OF THESE BOOKS AND HIGHLY RECOMMENDS THEM TO ANYONE WHOSE INTERESTS ARE OF HOW THE EARTH, GALAXY, PHYSICS, MATHEMATICAL RULES USED TO UNDERSTAND HOW THINGS WORK IN OUR WORLD AND BEYOND. A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR LIBRARY!
