Broken down into short, easy-to-digest sections it covers everything from evolution and cell biology to star formation and plate tectonics. Including sections on what technology may allow us to do in the future, and even looking at when science has gone bad, Understand Science will change the way you see the world around you.

[Mansour S منصور السدحان · Rating 2 out of 5]

two stars because I stumbled across "more complex species have more chromosomes" which is plain wrong. so how should I guarantee that other chapters don't have wrong information, chapters on subjects I'm not familiar with. If a fictional novel should be revised at least once, a scientific book (popular and academic alike) should be revised at least five times.
