Review
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is not your ordinary book! Filled with fun facts and concise explanations, this book is sure to generate lively conversation, debate, and insight into essential scientific principles for people of all ages. Though targeted at children, many teenagers and adults will also benefit from the low-key "refresher course" this book provides. If only science textbooks were as open-ended and easy to understand as this fascinating volume is!--Patrick Farenga, Co-Author of Teach Your Own: The John Holt Book of Homeschooling
Science and technology play an increasingly important role in the 21st century. Understanding science has become critical for competing in the global workforce, for making consumer decisions, taking care of older generations, educating younger generations, and leading fuller lives. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is a concise, intriguing, and valuable tool to help people learn the basics they need in this new society. I commend the authors for compiling so much essential information into this manageable format!--Chiehsan Cheng, CEO, Global Science and Technology, Greenbelt, MD
This is a fantastic book for quizzing students during the last 10 minutes of class or as a transition activity. The resource section at the back of the book offers fabulous ideas and resources for budding scientists, and the index is very helpful. It can be used for a review after a unit of study, to supplement a unit of study, or to extend a unit of study. Overall, it would be a great addition to any classroom library!--Tracy Alley, Teacher & Coordinator of Gifted Programs Madeira City Schools & Adjunct Professor, University of Cincinnati

Get hold of 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science and start expanding your science knowledge today!--Professor Geeta Verma, Ph. D., Science Education, Georgia State University
Fun, accurate and understandable, 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is as engaging as it is educational! Readers will devour the book and be left eager for the 102nd thing to know.

101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science by Dia Michels and Nathan Levy employs a completely 'user friendly' Q & A format to introduce readers to key concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and the general sciences. A compendium of diverse fun science facts suitable for inquiring minds from 8 to 80, 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is as entertaining and engaging as it is informed and informative. 101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science is particularly recommended for school and community libraries, and would be an ideal addition to home schooling curricula as supplemental reading in preparation for instilling a drive to learn what the various sciences are all about.--Midwest Book Review
"Most of us know more about science than we think we do, but not nearly as much as we should. That semi-contradictory state is part of what makes this book such a fun, satisfying educational read. We come away from it at once affirmed and improved in our knowledge and understanding of science. After a warm, personal introduction from one of the authors, the book presents 101 concise questions spanning biology, chemistry, physics, earth science, and general science that readers are encouraged to answer as best they can. Most will be able to conjure partial answers or reasonable conjecture, a factor that boosts confidence and stimulates curiosity. The answer section provides short answers to each of the questions, but follows them with highly informative, easy-to-understand explanations. Readers come away with a greater understanding of the world in which we live and, more importantly, a hunger to learn more." Tillywig Award Winner 2015--Tillywig Toy and Media Awards
101 Things Everyone Should Know About Science employs a completely user-friendly Q & A format to introduce readers to key concepts in biology, chemistry, physics, earth and general science. An ideal addition to home schooling curricula and particularly recommended for school and community libraries. This compendium of diverse, fun facts is as entertaining and engaging as it is informed and informative!--Midwest Book Review
