Über diesen Titel
Knowledge of the basic ideas and principles of science is fundamental to cultural literacy. But most books on science are often too obscure or too specialized to do the general reader much good.
Science Matters is a rare exception—a science book that is informative enough for introductory courses in high school and college, and yet lucid enough for readers uncomfortable with scientific jargon and complicated mathematics. And now, revised and expanded, it is up-to-date, so that readers can enjoy Hazen and Trefil's refreshingly accessible explanations of the most recent developments in science, from particle physics to biotechnology.©2009 James Trefil and Robert M. Hazen; (P)2009 Random House
Kritikerstimmen
“Lucid and lively. Hazen and Trefil have a particular genius for picturing even formidably abstract ideas in concrete images. . . . Science Matters is as good as they get” ––The Washington Post Book World
“Hazen and Trefil [are] unpretentious––good, down-to-earth, we-can-explain-anything science teachers, the kind you wish you had but never did.” ––The New York Times
“A book that even scientifically literate readers can consult . . . if they find their recollection of relativity or quantum mechanics getting shaky.” ––New Scientist
“Ordered and accessible, never daunting, never jumping ahead of itself. . . . If you’ve always thought you could never understand science, Hazen and Trefil will show you you’re wrong.” ––Washington Monthly
“A thoughtful and concise overview of what the citizen needs to know about science.” ––E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
“Science does matter, as this book shows.” ––Isaac Asimov
“A model of clarity and coherence.” ––Leon M. Lederman, winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics
“Lucid. . . . Will cause readers to wonder what was so confusing about the Periodic Table of Elements they confronted in their school days.” ––Publishers Weekly
“A first rate exposition–thorough, accessible, and entertaining–of the rudiments of scientific knowledge.” –Kirkus Reviews
“A confident overview of the fundamentals of science. . . . Comprehensible and carefully paced.” –Booklist
