Synopsis:
Ever wondered how many moons there are in our Solar System, or the number of Olympic sports, or who the 46 US presidents were? If so, this is the book for you!
Leaf through the pages of this beautiful book and you’ll find out how lists, codes, systems, and collections make sense of our world.
With its combination of attractive, timeless images and engaging text, this book is perfect for children aged 9+ (and adults!) who are curious about the world and the lists, systems, and categories that help us understand it.
This book on how the world works offers:
- A breakdown of information that makes sense of the world, including how humans have organized and explained everything from bridges to constellations, feathers to cheeses.
- Bright and colorful pages that break down big topics in an engaging and accessible way.
- Compelling collections of many different subjects broken down into lists and collections.
Explaining everything from the everyday to the obscure, Knowledge A Visual Compendium features intriguing array of objects, animals, lists, and artefacts from nature, science, technology, the arts, and history.
Children can discover the 40 orders of birds, the 88 constellations, the 36 Morse Code symbols, the 118 chemical elements, and the 206 bones in the human body, which illustrate how we order, understand, and make sense of the world.
