"In her easily accessible style, Margreet de Heer visualizes science and makes it approachable for those with little knowledge of the subject. Touching a number of topics in various scientific disciplines--including math, chemistry, physics, biology, geology, and quantum theory--this work ponders questions such as "Who exclaimed "Eureka" and why? Why did Galileo get into a fight with the Church? "and "What happens when you have your DNA tested?" This humorous yet substantive graphic account strips the subject of unnecessary complexity, making it a perfect introduction to exploring scientific concepts."--Provided by publisher. |
