How it all works

[illustrated by] Adam Dant & [written by] Brian Clegg

all scientific laws and phenomena illustrated & demonstrated

How It All Works is a unique and unprecedented demonstration of our universe and how it works. Starting in the home, and moving through ever more complex scenes of street, city and landscape, all the way to the solar system and the whole universe, Adam Dant's exquisite illustrations reveal where scientific laws apply and where the phenomena they create are to be found. A rigorous reference section includes all these in alphabetical order for ease of use as well as providing mini-portraits and biographies of key scientists of the ages, from Newton to Einstein and beyond. From the atomic to the entire universe, How It All Works is an essential and entertaining visual guide to the laws and phenomena of science, and their application in our world
