The paperback is about 8x10 with an edition date of 2011and the hardcover about 10x12 with an addition date of 2016. The latest edition has a picture of a microscope on the cover. The pictures and printed matter are nearly identical. I did find an update in the 2016 edition where the classification of species discussion now includes the Domain Level sitting above the Kingdom level. I went with an inexpensive used paperback so that the grandkids could enjoy the book without me worrying about damage. I had been receiving lessons in genes and chromosomes from a granddaughter and I found the discussion in the book a great addition. I also had been reading about quantum mechanics and relativity and I found the book summaries at exactly the right level to increase my understanding with simple explanations. The book is 522 pages. There are probably about two pages on about 200 topics as well as discussions on many of the great contributors to the field. I picked up the hard cover from the library to compare and I am thrilled to have my own copy on the coffee table. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for kids who want to know a little bit more, but aren't ready for in-depth research *by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2018* This is more a "history" of science, than it is an actual science book. It gives information of inventors, and concepts and where scientific ideas came from and why. It's really great for kids and parents to check out together.We bought it to get some ideas on what kinds of things they kids might be interested in doing for the science fair.The kids also use it off and on for learning about scientific facts that we as parents don't always have the answer to, especially since it's a more condensed version of what they can get lost in on the internet. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A handy learning tool and reference, especially for school-age kids *by T***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2010* I want to make clear what this book is and is not. It's a large-format visual guide from Dorling Kindersley, which means that it's filled to bursting with glorious color illustrations, detailed diagrams, and succinct summaries that help the non-mathematical novice understand the history of scientific thought. It is not, however, a reference for those who work in an academic setting, study at the college level, or consult the Encyclopaedia Britannica."Science" is helpful principally for young people who want a general overview of the progress of knowledge about our world, from its smallest elements to the vastness of the expanding universe, and who wish to achieve a quick grasp of basic terminology and principles. The coverage is a mile wide and an inch deep, but it does a good job of inspiring interest in the varied subjects it tackles. For in-depth information, more scholarly books will need to be consulted.The book is divided into five main eras: The Dawn of Science (before 1500), The Renaissance & Enlightenment (1500-1700), The Industrial Revolution (1700-1890), The Atomic Age (1890-1970), and The Information Age (after 1970). It traces the development of science from the earliest natural philosophers -- Aristotle and Alhazen, for example -- to modern scientists like Turing and Feynmann, and from early breakthroughs such as heliocentrism and the laws of gravity to recent ones like the atomic bomb and the structure of DNA.At the same time, scientific and mathematical principles are given good layman's explanations in words and pictures: algebra and geometry, buoyancy, inertia and friction, speed and velocity, optics, taxonomy, navigation, organic chemistry, thermodynamics, probability and statistics, evolution, digestion and reproduction, the periodic table, acids and bases, bacteria and viruses, electromagnetism, radiation, relativity, the Big Bang, fission and fusion, genetics, astronomy, ecology, plate tectonics, global warming, string theory, and much more.Inventions are given equally broad treatment: simple machines, gunpowder, printing, telescopes and microscopes, the steam engine, batteries and electric motors, surgery, immunization and vaccination, artificial lighting and electricity generation, the telephone, photography, the radio, flying machines, penicillin, plastics, rockets, codes, lasers, microchips, satellites, space travel, the Internet, artificial intelligence and robotics, in vitro fertilization and cloning, nanotechnologies, renewable energy, and yes, much more.I would particularly recommend this book to parents of middle- or high-schoolers who want to both pique their curiosity and answer their questions in clear, interesting ways. There are diagrams and brief biographical sidebars on most of the two-page spreads, as well as two-page timelines, summaries of turning points in the evolution of science, and somewhat more comprehensive biographies of major figures like Galileo, Newton, Darwin, Edison, and Einstein. The book ends with an extensive quick reference, including sections on measurement, astronomy, earth sciences, biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics, in addition to a "who's who," a glossary, and an index. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/235283-science-the-definitive-visual-guide](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/235283-science-the-definitive-visual-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
