Críticas
Michels and Levy have created a fun science conversation space for both adults and children! Its refreshing tone fills the very real gap between detailed texts and science trivia books. Well-researched and easy to read, this book encourages you to refresh your current science knowledge and then start asking more questions about how the world works. Get hold of 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science and start expanding your science knowledge today!--Professor Geeta Verma, Ph. D., Science Education, Georgia State University
Michels and Levy have created a book that could be called "How to Learn Science without Really Trying!" With over 100 questions on things we've all wondered about, they provide answers in a succinct, cleverly written and understandable format. An authoritative overview of science, this book fills an empty niche and should be on everyone's book shelf!--Katrina L. Kelner, Ph.D., Deputy Editor of Life Sciences "Science "
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is not your ordinary book! Filled with fun facts and concise explanations, this book is sure to generate lively conversation, debate, and insight into essential scientific principles for people of all ages. Though targeted at children, many teenagers and adults will also benefit from the low-key "refresher course" this book provides. If only science textbooks were as open-ended and easy to understand as this fascinating volume is!--Patrick Farenga, Co-Author of Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of Homeschooling
Fun, accurate and understandable, 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is as engaging as it is educational! Readers will devour the book and be left eager for the 102nd thing to know. With expert text and clear illustrations, Michels and Levy appeal straight to our natural curiosity about how the physical world works.--Margaret Kenda, Science Wizardry for Kids and Math Wizardry for Kids
Science and technology play an increasingly important role in the 21st century. Understanding science has become critical for competing in the global workforce, for making consumer decisions, taking care of older generations, educating younger generations, and leading fuller lives. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is a concise, intriguing, and valuable tool to help people learn the basics they need in this new society. I commend the authors for compiling so much essential information into this manageable format!--Chiehsan Cheng, CEO, Global Science and Technology, Greenbelt, MD
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is an impressive source of science information for all ages. I will enjoy reading it with my children and grandchildren. It's an ideal way to connect with each other and at the same time learn something of value together. It's also a great way to gain knowledge that I missed out on during my years in school!--Shoshana Hayman, Life Center, Tel Aviv
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science by Dia Michels and Nathan Levy employs a completely 'user friendly' Q & A format to introduce readers to key concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and the general sciences. A compendium of diverse fun science facts suitable for inquiring minds from 8 to 80, 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is as entertaining and engaging as it is informed and informative. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is particularly recommended for school and community libraries, and would be an ideal addition to home schooling curricula as supplemental reading in preparation for instilling a drive to learn what the various sciences are all about.--Midwest Book Review
"Most of us know more about science than we think we do, but not nearly as much as we should. That semi-contradictory state is part of what makes this book such a fun, satisfying educational read. We come away from it at once affirmed and improved in our knowledge and understanding of science. After a warm, personal introduction from one of the authors, the book presents 101 concise questions spanning biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and general science that readers are encouraged to answer as best they can. Most will be able to conjure partial answers or reasonable conjecture, a factor that boosts confidence and stimulates curiosity. The answer section provides short answers to each of the questions, but follows them with highly informative, easy-to-understand explanations. Readers come away with a greater understanding of the world in which we live and, more importantly, a hunger to learn more." Tillywig Award Winner 2015--Tillywig Toy and Media Awards

Descripción de la tienda
With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.…
