Providing information on the physical workings and constitution of the universe, this encyclopaedia uses spread-length articles rather than an alphabetical list. Each article includes a "see also" panel referring the reader to related topics, and an A-Z fact-finder at the end of the book contains over 1400 entries on people, concepts and terms, cross-referenced to the main section. As well as presenting an account of subjects as diverse as the theory of relativity and the nature of heredity, Dr Youngson covers the history of scientific thought and advance, thereby offering insights into the ideas that held sway for centuries, particularly the often misguided ones about the cosmos and the human body.
