Reviews

‘Excellent book, I have been leafing through it and have found it fascinating. Not only does it go through the fundamentals of the subject, it explains the history, discovery and the mechanisms involved within each area of study. I purchased this for my son, who is a bit of a budding physics boffin, and thought it would broaden his knowledge base. However, I should add he’s only 8, and this book covers how the reproductive process came to be scientifically understood and I’ve decided to put the book onto the top shelf for a couple years. Silly me Doh! Of course, it’s a biology book! Age range, maybe 11 up and probable useful for GCSE levels or interested adults, as it is a really good, well- illustrated reference book too.’

‘Just received the new DK big ideas book, I can tell already it is another excellent addition and really well designed and I look forward to other new ones.’

‘Great book as expected for this series from DK. Good for older children/teens as well as adults who want a brief overview of a variety of topics.’

‘Nice quality pages, packed with pictures and diagrams. Easy to dip in and out of without having to plough through the whole book or even chapters as most topics are covered in a couple of pages.’

Concept – This series of books takes a major topic in the biological disciplines and explains it along with information about the key scientists involved. Each topic is covered across two pages with photos, diagrams and illustrations. They have managed to pack a lot of facts in.

Layout – The layout is typically DK with excellently written text, relevant phots and data. They use the same format across this range of books, I have the Ecology, Math’s and classical music ones as well. I have been working through each one with my nephews and nieces and it has been a wonderful journey.

Overall – An excellent series of books with carefully selected and relevant subject matter that is explained and presented extremely well. Highly recommended.
