Looks interesting!
This has been bought for our grandson who is showing an interest in Science. He has still to receive it so I can't really comment on its content. I thought the outer cover looked a bit 'grey' in colour, as if it's been lying on a shelf for a little while, but I'll try and give it a discreet, gentle wipe before handing it over!

excellent purchase
Purchased this for my 14 year old grandson but decided to read it first. I feel this book is geared for readers older than 14 as it contains a lot of data that takes time to absorb. It is not a quick read. I reread many parts of the book to clarify what was being discussed. Protons, electrons, pulsars, neutrons, photons, atoms, molecules are all words I knew but needed a context for each. This book is an excellent tool for science in highschool and is written with many examples and much humour. I will be purchasing a few more copies for all my grandchildren and their parents.

Indispensable complément.
Indispensable complément à ce qui est enseigné classiquement dans nos écoles. Acheté pour ma nièce adolescente et curieuse pour lui permettre de se situer dans ce merveilleux cosmos .
