Life Science through Infographics (Super Science Infographics) - Softcover
Book 5 of 6: Super Science Infographics
Synopsis
Absorbing facts about the 11.3 million species on Earth might cause your brain to burst! You need to take in huge timelines (the first life on Earth formed 3.8 billion years ago), huge numbers (your body is made up of trillions of cells), and even huger mysteries (why species go extinct).
How can all these big numbers and concepts make more sense? Infographics! The charts, maps, and illustrations in this book tell a visual story to help you better understand key concepts about life science. Crack open this book to explore mind-boggling questions such as:
• How do organisms evolve over millions of years?
• How does DNA determine what you will look like?
• Why are so many species struggling to survive today?
The answers are sure to be life-expanding!

Review
"A well-designed infographic simultaneously conveys facts and presents their interrelationships in visual ways. With but rare exceptions (such as a graph of multiple star characteristics in Solar System, a representation of the water cycle in Weather, and the occasional pie chart elsewhere), the silhouettes and other figures in these volumes may be done in a pictorial graphic style but are really just illustrations or images inserted to add visual interest. However, each title does offer sheaves of basic information in particularly concentrated form, including topic-expanding closing spreads ('10 Ways to Live Green' in Life Science, for instance), and the resources lists are above average." --School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
