Review: Another great addition to the series. - I love DK, I love this series of visually explained books (food, body, soon psychology) and have or will buy them all. A fantastic primer for children, or refresher for adults, I highly recommend this book and series to all that want to continually learn and grow. A specific example for me would be String Theory. I've heard of it frequently, but never knew just exactly what it was. The book affords me a simple and streamlined answer. Et Voilà! Review: Awesome visuals with easy to understand explanations! - Love this book series! And I’m growing found of the publisher as well, the writing style is consistent and easy to understand. I will definitely buy more, these make great coffee table books and conversation starters!

Beautiful and engaging illustrations
I purchased this for my son’s 12th birthday and he couldn’t put it down for several weeks. He and his little brother were actually fighting over it because they both wanted to read it. Beautiful illustrations. Engaging book.

Will not make you a scientist, but allow you to have familiarity with science.
Read it from cover to cover and learned a lot. Great format for quick learning the basics of science. Bought a second copy for my grandson.

Good book for visually oriented readers.
Do you or your kids have trouble understanding scientific concepts? This book is designed to help with that. "How Science Works" illustrates how various scientific principles and processes work with full-color pictures and detailed text. Too advanced for elementary students, but I would say students from middle grade and up can use it. Great for homeschoolers, adult learners and just anyone who's curious about the world around us! There is a whole series of this that I now want to check out!

It's a book that describes scientific processes in a simple and understanding manner.
The book gives in general terms what's it all about answers, it is not meant for studying certain scientific areas, just informative overviews, I love it.

Should be required reading!
If high school text books were this engaging I might have been more interested in science when I was younger. Love DK books!

Good book, a little lite on facts
Not a bad book for beginners, but not really for adults, unless you are a bit light in the nouse department. The book bites off a lot and misses chewing it all.

Great book for inquisitive mind
I was looking for a book that would not be too basic and this one was a good choice. My 10 y.o. son was complaining that science books for kids only cover the very basics and do not give much information that he was seeking for, while the real science books are still too much for him. So this one became a great alternative as it covers many subjects and not too basic, but giving more details who are eager to know more. Certainly recommend it!

Concise yet through explanations for scientific phenomena.
Well written introduction to scientific phenomena. Visuals aid in understanding and make the book more enjoyable to read.
