Part of the "Eyewitness Science" series, this book is a guide to the principles of light - where it comes from and how its properties were investigated by scientists over the centuries - that reveals how, today, its principles are at work in a myriad of optical and visual appliances, from television to laser. The book demonstrates the original experiments, and explains the principles behind the major scientific inventions and concepts. Specially-commissioned photographs and text written by experts in their own fields make the most intriguing theories accessible. It captures the spirit of earlier ages by showing the original equipment and instruments used in scientific experiments. "Eyewitness Science" is a series of visual guides that opens up the world of science, and explains the principles affecting people's daily lives. All the fields of science are encompassed - from relativity to genetics - to build up into an encyclopaedic series. The reader is invited to step into the shoes of the scientists and relive the thrill of scientific breakthrough.

Science is all around and can be an endless source of discovery and wonder. Yet, for many people it conjures up thoughts of obscure laws and formulae. For them, this series of references should be practical and fun. From the earliest scientific investigations to current theories, this text creates actual experiments that were landmarks in the history of life on Earth, together with easy-to-follow demonstrations that make them accessible to all ages. It looks at the characteristics of all living things, then goes in closer to study the building blocks of cells and chemicals that control organisms. And it looks at the most difficult question of all - how life began and whether there is life beyond our own universe.

Dorling Kindersley Plc P/B

This authoritative volume starts with a clear introduction to the animal world, examining the reasons for the apparently infinite variety of animal forms and the major evolutionary developments. Animal anatomy, life-cycles and the principles of classification are also explored. This is followed by a superbly illustrated survey of world habitats, showing how animals have adapted to each environment and the threats that face both wildlife and plants today. The main part of the book, an up-to-date and comprehensive animal catalogue, looks in detail at each major group and provides absorbing profiles of over 2,000 individual species. Spectacular photographic portraits bring a vast array of animals vividly to life, with special features on well-known and important creatures such as the Galapagos tortoise. Each species profile is supported by maps and symbols showing distribution and habitat, as well as key information on size, population and conservation status, forming a valuable reference database.
