Little Book of Scientific Principles, Theories and Things

This is the perfect summary of scientific knowledge in one easy-to-read book. It is presented in a historical timeline, showing the progression of discovery. Virtually everything is there, but not too much! It is also a useful reference. It includes just the right formulas, and beyond that provides enough information to whet your appetite for more. It explains 175 laws, principles, equations, theories and things that form the foundations of science. It features all the great names in science, including Pythagoras, Galileo, Newton, Darwin and Einstein, as well as more recent contributors such as Rachel Carson, James Lovelock and Stephen Hawking.

Delightful and useful! It makes some potentially complex scientific information accessible and enjoyable.
