Guide to Science: v. 2 by Isaac Asimov

Isaac Asimov’s outstanding success as a writer of science fiction sufficiently suggests his gifts for exciting narrative and simple exposition of abstruse facts.

This Pelican edition offers an invaluable work- as much for reading as for reference- in two volumes. In the second Dr Asimov demonstrates his extraordinary command of the whole field of science in his plain- language explanation of living cells and the chemistry of life; evolution and the family tree of the animal world; human behaviour and the human brain.

The first volume of this guide covers the history and the latest discoveries of the physical sciences
