• Excellent Book, With One Reservation 12 August, 2007
I bought the book for my wife to increase her knowledge of science. It's somewhat directed at adolescents, but it's immensely useful for anyone who only learned science through many of our public schools. The explanations are concise, clear, and often go into the history of science, which I believe is essential. It hits all areas of science and shows how they tie into one another. My only complaint in what I've seen is the treatment of global warming. The authors present this as scientific fact that the earth is warming according to computer models and will increase greatly in the coming years. They fail to mention that the models are full of flaws and have had an unacceptably low predictive validity, and they also do not mention that a very large number of climatologists completely or largely reject the hypothesis. As a science book, they should stick to science, and the hypothesis of man-made global warming is more about the corruption of the scientific process with money than it is true science.

This is a big book, full of great information. I was a bit disappointed that it didn't include much information regarding sub-categories of science like microbiology, and didn't even have a section on Physics! It is, however, filled with tons of info. on biology and chemistry.
