(3) 4-6 This compendium opens with "You Are an Amazing Machine" and concludes with "Huge: Cosmology, Astrophysics, and a Few Unsolved Mysteries of the Universe." Each of eighteen chapters tackles a particular branch of science, including botany, physics, zoology, astrobiology, and climate change. Because the topics are vast, coverage is necessarily condensed, but readers can browse for pleasure or tuck into a chapter and find inspiration to do further research. TV personality Nye's enthusiasm for science comes through in sections packed with information, boxed quotations from working scientists, "Try This" activities, photos, illustrations, diagrams, and graphics. A selected bibliography and index are appended.
