Book Reviews of Theories for Everything: An Illustrated History of Science
Book Review: Excellent, Educational Book
Summary: 5 Stars
Please disregard the ludicrous ravings of this book's first reviewer, who judges the entire tome on the basis, not of its cover, but of a single sidebar. He inexplicably dismisses the eminently-qualified authors, who have been senior editors of such publications as Discover, Natural History, and Astronomy, and who I can assure you were thoroughly vetted by National Geographic.
"Theories for Everything" is a beautifully illustrated and well-written introduction to the history of science, particularly useful to young people but also to adults who would like a general refresher. Divided into six chapters -- The Heavens, The Human Body, Matter and Energy, Life Itself, Earth and Moon, Mind and Behavior -- it is neither exhaustive nor highly academic, but it is fun and lively, full of timelines and mini-biographies of science luminaries, which should encourage further exploration.
