DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis lavishly illustrated encyclopedia--which Library Journal praised as "wonderfully illustrated" and "a pleasure to browse"--is now available in a revised edition. Here is a wealth of up-to-date information--more than 6,500 alphabetically arranged entries, each written by an expert in the field, covering virtually every aspect of science and technology, from the structure of atoms to the functioning of the cell. Readers will find brief informative entries covering subject areas such as astronomy, chemistry, biology, botany, engineering, physics, and medicine, to name a few. In addition, dozens of major topics--such as the Solar System or the Human Body--receive expanded, one- or two-page spreads. The volume also offers 700 special-feature boxes that explain key topics, inventions, and processes, ranging from air conditioners to binary stars; a 40-page time-line detailing significant moments in the history of science and technology; plus a ten-page ready reference section. And the entire volume boasts marvelous illustrations--over a thousand color diagrams, tables, and photographs. This up-to-date reference is beautifully designed, highly informative, and easy to use--an ideal reference for high school and college students as well as anyone interested in science.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow are matches made? Why is dry cleaning called dry? How does a speedometer work? Why can the heat of an iron be regulated? What makes a ship float? Why does a zipper zip? Diagrams and drawings accompany a page of explanatory text for each of the 1071 entries which explain the principles of why things work. Many of the explanations are beyond the understanding of elementary school students, but the answers to many of their inquiries as to how things work are to be found easily by the curious boy or girl. Much more comprehensive in scope than Mann's How Things Work (Crowell, 1960) but not as useful for the general reader.
