Reviews
"As a good--even great--teacher, Hakim knows exactly where students might stumble and is always there, making sure they don't."--Diana Lutz, Natural History "Hakim has interwoven creation myths, history, physics, and mathematics to present a seamless, multifaceted view of the foundation of modern science. . . . At its essence, the book displays the most appealing aspect of science and mathematics: that advances result from a practical need solved by curious minds."-- School Library Journal , starred review "[W]hen master storyteller Joy Hakim wields her pen, take heart: you're in for a breathtaking adventure."-- American Educator "If Leonardo da Vinci had studied school science, he would have been fascinated with The Story of Science ."--Juliana Texley, lead reviewer for National Science Teacher Association Recommends

Synopsis
Beginning with a journey through space and Albert Einstein riding on a light beam, Hakim takes a lively and accessible look at the theory of relativity, chaos theory, and string theory, showing throughout how the greatest scientific discoveries often begin with the simplest questions about our world--and who we really are., In volume three, students will look over Albert Einstein's shoulder as he and his colleagues develop a new kind of physics. It leads in two directions: to knowledge of the vast universe and its future (insights build on Einstein's theories of relativity), and to an understanding of the astonishingly small subatomic world (the realm of quantum physics). Students will learn why relativity and quantum theory revolutionized our world and led to the most important ideas in modern science, maybe of all time. In the three-book The Story of Science series, master storyteller Joy Hakim narrates the evolution of scientific thought from ancient times to the present. With lively, character-driven narrative, Hakim spotlights the achievements of some of the world's greatest scientists and encourages a similiar spirit of inquiry in readers. The books include hundreds of color photographs, charts, maps, and diagrams; informative sidebars; suggestions for further reading; and excerpts from the writings of great scientists.

- 2***j (112)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseThis package of books came quickly and was packed well enough to prevent all but the worst handling conditions. The books themselves were in nearly perfect condition and the box/sleeve was only slightly worn -- just as described in the listing. Was really happy with this order and the price was fantastic for such a great starter set of Hardy Boys. Awesome!

When a great title comes to me, at a great price, responsibly shipped in bubblewrap, I know the seller's smart, and responsible, and their efforts are worthy of our business. A++, all around..! Thanks, Goodwill of Northwest North Carolina..! Let's do this again..! 👋😁👌
