Emphasizing SMALL:
I'm familiar with the hardcover version of this book and have always loved DK's emphasis of impressive graphics combined with useful text. This book is no different. However, I neglected to notice how small this book was. It's still pretty thick (1-5/8 inches) but the height/width has been shrunk (6-3/4 x 5-3/8 inches). If you're used to the hardcover, it may surprise you that this is more a really thick "pocket book" and not anything like the "reference book" nature of the hardcover edition. For... more info
This is a very handy encyclopedia !!!:
The is a small but a thick book. ABSOLUTELY beautiful illustration printed on very nice paper with easy-to-understand words. Full of fun facts. Some types are intentionally bigger than the others so even an impatient person like myself will not give up the book so easily. Because of this book I started to realize how NICE DK Publishing's books' quality are and start looking for more of their encyclopedia ~ ! I can always find out the contents easily from the index pages at the end of the little book.
Excellent for all age:
I wish I had this book when I was student. I am glad I found this one for my curious son. Visuals are excellent with great explainations.
Excellent:
This is an excellent book. I wish I had this book when I was student. You MUST have this if you care about learning yourself or want to teach your kids (that's why I bought it) about science.
