Test the scope of your general science knowledge. How familiar are you with common terms like osmosis, sublimation, mitosis, pneumatic, precession, dendrite, inductance, and isostasy? How familiar are you with famous scientists like Ptolemy, Archimedes, Galileo, Dalton, Mendel, Hooke, Lavoisier, and Einstein? Can you think of examples of amphibians, elemental forms of carbon, dwarf planets, kinds of weathering, polar liquids, applications of Faraday's law, or types of digestive enzymes? Can you explain basic concepts like why the sky appears blue, how photosynthesis works, which blood transfusions are possible, or how to make a Punnett square? Are you good with numbers like the boiling point of water in Fahrenheit, the charge of an electron in Coulombs, the number of ribs in a typical adult human, the century when Leonardo da Vinci was born, or the half-life of carbon-14? Do you know what common abbreviations stand for, like NASA, EKG, XRT, HTML, VSEPR, or LHC? Are you familiar with basic laws and principles like Newton's laws of motion, Boyle's law, capillary action, plate tectonics, Kepler's laws, or Mendel's laws? Do you remember equations like the formula for molarity, percent error, Coulomb's law, the half-life of a radioactive decay, or the first law of thermodynamics? How familiar are you with units of measurement like the dyne, Btu, AU, amu, Joule, candela, or Weber? This book will test your science knowledge in a variety of ways, whether you wish to enjoy some science trivia, prepare for a science competition, see what you can learn by reading the answers and explanations, or simply see how much science you remember.

Genius demystified, the Dummies way! In 1905, Albert Einstein revolutionized modern physics with his theory of relativity. He went on to become a twentieth-century icon-a man whose name and face are synonymous with "genius." Now, at last, ordinary readers can explore Einstein's life and work in this new For Dummies guide. Physicist Carlos Calle chronicles Einstein's career and explains his work-including the theories of special and general relativity-in language that anyone can understand. He shows how Einstein's discoveries affected everything from the development of the atom bomb to the theory of quantum mechanics. He sheds light on Einstein's personal life and beliefs, including his views on religion and politics. And he shows how Einstein's work continues to affect our world today, from nuclear power to space travel to artificial intelligence.
