Review by Booklist Review

This addition to the Facts Visually Explained series has eye-catching visuals on each page with hundreds of interesting facts about difficult concepts and recent scientific discoveries. How Science Works separates fundamental science facts from the pseudoscience spread by popular media. Concepts are divided up into five broad areas: Matter, Energy and Forces, Life, Space, and Earth. Each topic within an area is given a two-page spread filled with color illustrations and small paragraphs of information, making the pages appealing and easy to read. A detailed index is provided in the back of the book. This reference book is an excellent addition to both young adult and adult science collections in public and school libraries.--Hoffman, Anne Copyright 2018 Booklist
