Seeing Science Reviews

Illustrated infographic ride through everything from neap tides and naked mole rats, to whale falls, the human heart, the Uncertainty Principle and why glaciers are like Snickers bars. -- The Bookseller
The book is divided into three sections: Life Science, Earth Science and Physical Science. All of this is with suitable examples and a few funny ones to see if you're paying attention. Don't treat this book as comprehensive but I think you'll find a lot of the information will stick in your heads afterwards. -- SFcrowsnest
