As a key subject for children in an ever more sophisticated world, the grasp of science and the basic principles behind it are explored in "The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia". Arranged thematically, the text seeks not just to provide factual information, but help the reader to enquire and collect and use evidence in the exploration of new topics. Each subject area is provided with important dates and events, together with biographies of the outstanding scientists in that field.

My copy has a different cover, since it is the 2000 edition with 488 pages. It has wonderful color illustrations and over 3,500 indexed references with over 2,,000 full-color illustrations. Excellent general reference.

An excellent reference for most scientific questions. Comprehensive discriptions and pictures make it popular with all age groups. (
