Viac o knihe
Bill's fascination with science began with a battered schoolbook at around ten years old, featuring a captivating cutaway diagram of Earth's interior. The image of startled cars and people falling off a cliff sparked his curiosity, but he soon focused on the lesson it conveyed: Earth's layers, with a glowing sphere of iron and nickel at the center, as hot as the Sun. He vividly recalls wondering, "How do they know that?" Bill's storytelling makes the "How?" and "Who?" of scientific discovery engaging for all ages. In this exciting edition for younger readers, he explores the wonders and mysteries of time and space, the eccentric scientists and their methods, the long-held crackpot theories, and the extraordinary accidental discoveries that advanced science unexpectedly. He delves into the mind-boggling reality that the universe exists and, against all odds, life emerged on our remarkable planet.
