Synopses & Reviews
Inspired by the Eyewitness "lexigraphic" approach, the definitive text, detailed captions, and labels combine with many full-color graphics, photos, and 3-D models to show the landmark experiments, the complex equipment, procedures, and concepts in all fields -- from relativity to genetics to ecology.
Review
It would be difficult to find a public library in the U.S. without at least one Eyewitness Book--many libraries own hundreds. The combination of on-target subject matter, with books on most of the subjects that interest both children and adults, and impeccable book design have made a dominant force that has changed the world of nonfiction publishing.
