Seeing Science
Seeing Science: An Illustrated Guide to the Wonders of the Universe | Iris Gottlieb
1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
Science is really beautiful. With original illustrations that deftly explain the strange-but-true world of science, Seeing Science offers a curated ride through the great mysteries of the universe. Artist and lay scientist Iris Gottlieb explains among other things: neap tides, naked mole rats, whale falls, the human heart, the Uncertainty Principle, the ten dimensions of string theory, and how glaciers are like Snickers bars. With quirky visual metaphors and concise factual explanations, she offers just the right amount of information to stoke the curious mind with a desire to know more about the life forces that animate both the smallest cell and the biggest black hole. Seeing Science illustrates, explicates, and celebrates the marvels of science as only art can.

I'm always interested in seeing visual educational books. This one was not well formatted, at least not in the digital version. It might look different its physical form. This is less of a guide and more of a collection of entirely random science information that has no clear organization pattern. There's lots of explanation and not as many illustrations as I imagined based on the title. It might be a bit tough for kids to access.
