Eyewitness Science Time And Space

The Eyewitness Science series features landmark science experiments, discoveries, and theories together with clear explanations of scientific principles. Readers can follow the path of discovery through the minds of great scientist, from Galileo and Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.

Young scientist can learn about time and space. The wide range of topics includes measuring time, biospace, black holes, the marriage of time and space, and more.

Grade 6-10?An excellent introduction to cosmology and modern physics. Historical methods of time measurement and navigation are followed by theories of space and time, all covered in double-page spreads. The three laws of thermodynamics, especially the concept of entropy, are presented. Einstein's special and general theories of relativity are explained (without math); and how gravity makes curves in space and time is shown. Black holes, wormholes, string theory, Shrodinger's cat, and time travel are also discussed. The full-color illustrations are often small and have accompanying captions in small print. They convey a great deal of information; numbered or sequential pictures and text are often used to explain concepts. This book will appeal to students who like to deal with abstractions.?Margaret M.
