Let's Make Some Gold!: Science's Biggest Mistakes About Geology and Ecology

32 pp. | Lerner | September, 2014 | Library ISBN 978-1-4677-3662-6 $26.60 | Ebook ISBN 978-1-4677-4736-3
(4) 4-6 Science Gets It Wrong series. Detours along the path of scientific progress are explored to show the development of scientific thought across the centuries. In each volume, no-longer-valid concepts such as the flat earth, geocentric universe, alchemy, spontaneous generation, and astrology showcase the way scientific thinking evolves; historical and modern images illustrate these changes. The books' clip-art-like graphics are unattractive. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Science Gets It Wrong titles: Let's Make Some Gold!, and That Bull Is Seeing Red!, We're the Center of the Universe!.
