Synopsis

This handy visual dictionary covers the key topics in the core STEM subjects of biology, chemistry, and physics.

The A-Z of Science brings the unique and popular Basher illustrative approach of capturing key scientific concepts as quirky but memorable characters, combined with the informative, humorous, and accessible text of science author Tom Jackson. This handy guide will be a sure-fire hit with school students learning these core subjects for the first time, as well as a useful reference guide and reminder for older high-school and college students looking for a revision guide.

The entries are organized alphabetically, and cover all the topics you would expect to find in a core science book, from acids and atoms to X-rays and zygotes. Break-out feature spreads cover more complex, high-interest topics such as classification, cell, and nitrogen cycle.

The A-Z of Science includes over 300 scientific definitions, many of them accompanied by Basher's perennially popular hip-kicky illustrations. It's a must-have book for every student of science!
