review:
'The Book of Big Science Ideas: From Atoms to AI and from Gravity to Genes: How Science Shapes Our World' by Freya Hardy with illustrations by Sara Mulvanny is a science book for young readers looking at some big ideas and how they have formed over many, many years.
The 15 ideas in this book are each presented on 4 pages. The first two define and talk about the idea, then explain why it's important, so for atoms, we learn what an atom is and the structure of atoms. The next two pages talk about the big thinkers behind the ideas. These thinkers are taken from throughout time, and the reader can see how ideas evolved over time. The book ends with some ideas and thinkers who didn't make the book and a timeline for each of the 15 ideas.
I liked the structure of the book. The design is engaging. The concepts are explained very well. There is a lot of information given in just a few pages. There is even a glossary at the end for many of the words used.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Kids, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
