Also love the way it’s organised. Review: More of a history book - Not a bad book by any means as it is very beautifully organized and illustrated. I just believe the title should have been something along the lines of “The History of Science” rather than “The Science Book”. Possibly my mistake, but I bought it expecting more of an encyclopedia-type format, intended to teach adults who don’t necessarily work inside scientific fields more about various scientific concepts in further detail. However it doesn’t get into much detail about the scientific material itself but rather draws out a storyline of when things were discovered and by whom, and society’s reactions to it, making it heavily history-centered (for example, almost every paragraph starts with something like: “In the year 1615….”). It is still an informative and well-written book. For those who want to get a chronological picture of how the field of science was developed through time and who contributed to it, it is perfect. I’m just writing this review as caution to those who are more interested in pure scientific fact and knowledge: this might not be the most efficient book for that purpose. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #58,368 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #40 in Scientific Reference #256 in Dictionaries & Thesauruses | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,534) | | Dimensions | 19.5 x 2.1 x 23.5 cm | | Edition | Standard Edition | | ISBN-10 | 1465481222 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1465481221 | | Item weight | 970 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 352 pages | | Publication date | 12 February 2019 | | Publisher | DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley) | ## Images ![The Science Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91D18S5pL4L.jpg) ![The Science Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91-w8YeEBoL.jpg) ![The Science Book: Big Ideas Simply Explained - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71888lpW4jL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I LOVE SCIENCE *by M***I on 2 September 2025* Love love love this book because of its diverse topics, it really gets into everything and it’s so fun, it provides so many information and it’s really interesting.
