Praise For "Dr. Art's Guide to Science" "I founded the Roots & Shoots humanitarian and environmental program to help young people around the world understand and care. Art Sussman's book joyfully teaches the science we all need to know, and inspires people of all ages to think deeply about who they are and what they do." --Dr. Jane Goodall, founder, the Jane Goodall Institute, and United Nations Messenger of Peace "I'm a visual learner, so this book was amazing for me because there are pictures describing almost everything. I also love how Dr. Art is such a big part of the book. It's like you get a teacher helping you learn right in your book, with you at all times." --Jillian Jetton, 9th grade student, Berkeley High School "Those not familiar with the inspiring results obtained from centuries of scientific exploration are missing out on humanity's greatest adventure. As Dr. Art points out, science is all about understanding. His beautiful new book now makes it all clear: not only why we on Earth live on huge floating plates and have bodies formed from stardust, but also how scientists have been able to reach such amazing understandings. For readers of all ages, this is an easy and enjoyable way to catch up on what was missed in school." --Dr. Bruce Alberts, past president, National Academy of Sciences "Dr. Art's Guide to Science is a refreshing look at the big ideas of science through the eyes of a gifted and delightfully quirky science educator. In every chapter the major subject is not just what we know about the world, but how we know what we know. And like the mysterious world in which we live, there are surprises at every corner." --Dr. CarySneider, vice president for Educator Programs, Museum of ScienceSussman, Art is the author of 'Dr. Art's Guide to Science Connecting Atoms, Galaxies, And Everything in Between', published 2006 under ISBN 9780787983260 and ISBN 0787983268.
