Description
With the author of the book, David Macaulay, and a herd of curious mammoths as your guides through the world of science, you will delve into the mysteries of physics, biology, chemistry, geography, and astronomy. You will learn, for example, that water is the only substance on Earth that exists in all three states - solid, liquid, and gas. You will understand why the two pure forms of carbon are so different - diamond is hard and graphite is soft. The mammoths will advise you on how to measure the density of substances and explain why even heavy objects float. You will discover a lot about atoms and molecules, energy, heat, sound, light, and magnetism. Together with the mammoths, you will explore the entire human body, focusing on the immune system, DNA, and evolution. You will also stop to consider the Earth and realize its place in the universe, walking through the Solar System and the Milky Way... You will even learn what the bodies of mammoths are made of, who are humorously and creatively integrated into the illustrations and text of the chapters, often in a way that highlights their size compared to other creatures or objects. Are you looking forward to reading?
