Hardback. Condición: Good. Scientific American Science Desk Reference The ultimate in reference from the authority on science and technology For over 150 years, Scientific American has been explaining science to the public, developing a reputation for conveying complex scientific information in a way that inquisitive nonscientists can understand. Now Scientific American presents this one-volume, easy-to-use reference to the exciting and ever-changing world of science and technology. In sixteen sections, Scientific American Science Desk Reference covers everything from the age of the earth to the dimensions of space, from evolutionary theory and the study of fossils to the latest in genetic research. Each scientific field is explored through an overview of key topics, a chronology of discoveries, and a list of further reading. Over 500 biographies of key science figures give an idea of the vast human effort scientific endeavor requires. Thousands of glossary terms and hundreds of useful Web sites are listed. Also included are hundreds of visual elements, including tables, charts, diagrams, and illustrations. And hundreds of sidebars feature fascinating facts, mnemonic aids, and quizzes to help you grasp the concepts discussed. Along with a careful exploration of the basics of science, the book also includes essays from knowledgeable contributors that provide engaging commentary on various fields. For instance, Tony Jones discusses the paradigm-shaking discoveries of planets in our solar system, Edward Young contemplates differing theories on how the dinosaurs became extinct, and Chris Stringer explores competing theories of evolution. Whether you're a student, or simply an enthusiast, Scientific American Science Desk Reference has all the compelling facts you need to explore the world around you.…
