About this title

Synopsis

Colour version. This book explains how observations of everyday events led step by step to an understanding of how the elements, the world and the universe fit together, what they are and what that knowledge has done for us.The reader will learn answers to questions such as "How do we know how far away stars are?", “Why do we think dark matter exists?”, “Why doesn’t electricity leak out of sockets?”, “How do we know that galaxies rotate?”, “Why are some things transparent?”, “How do we know how old the universe is?”, and "What makes some atoms stick together?"The explanations are supported by 200 clear diagrams, historical timelines (what was happening in the world when the electron was discovered?) and key points at the end of each chapter.
