Summary:
"No generation has yet had to cope with the kind of rapid changes in science and technology that are facing today's teens. This is why "STEM education" is the latest buzz term and science literacy is enjoying a renewed focus. A foundation in basic science is key. With decades of scientific knowledge behind him and a genuine sense of fun in his approach, Jan Paul Schutten rewards curiosity with engaging explanations about some of the most complicated scientific issues that exist, and tells readers that there is much left to discover. For example: Why does the paramecium deserve a standing ovation?
How
do you build a planet? Does a tree want to be tall?
How
does a bacterium turn into a blue whale?
How
can you survive without a rear end?
How
can you yourself see evolution at work? Why would aliens most likely be meat-eaters? Are scientists not telling us
everything
?"-- From publisher.

Ages 10-14.
