Why are plants green and sunsets red? Why does time go forwards and not backwards? Why does the world never run out of oxygen? From lightning to lasers, dandelions to DNA, science pervades the world around us. Written in simple, clear language and beautifully illustrated, this book sets out to explain the links between scientific concepts and our everyday experiences. Moving from basic ideas to challenging new developments, this is the essential book for those who ask searching questions about the world around them and are eager to gain a deeper understanding of issues that lie at the heart of science.

About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.
