Kids don't come with instruction manuals, but somehow you've managed to conquer nappies and feeding, perfect your repertoire of bedtime stories and even sent your youngster off to school without any major disasters. And then one day, just when you think you've mastered the fine art of parenting, your kid walks up to you and asks, "So, if we're floating in space, why don't we fall off?"
Unless you're something of a scientist, Concise Encyclopedia: Science is likely to provide a more convincing answer than your dim and far too distant memories of school science classes. Packed full of concise definitions and explanations, brimming with over 400 eye-catching photographs and detailed illustrations, this handy study-aid will answer any budding young Einstein's questions in no time. An easy-to-follow, thematically arranged table of contents gets your children started. If it's a particular word they're looking for, (gravity, say) they can refer to the detailed index. For instance, in the "Force" section, they'll be introduced to words like centripetal and torsion and, yes, they'll learn what keeps us from drifting off into the great unknown. If they want to find out more, they can refer to the "See also" box for related topics, then go from there.
So when your little ones start up with the science questions, help them find the answers. They may even end up answering a few of your own. --Martha Silano
