"I historieböckerna är de flesta upptäckarna män, men Boken om upptäckter framhåller föredömligt olika kvinnor som också bidragit... På drygt 100 sidor ryms mycket... Illustrationerna är fina och trivsamma och de ger atmosfär åt texterna... En bra bok för den som vill utveckla sitt intresse för naturvetenskap. Betyg 4 av 5."BTJ nr 19, Ulf Hyltén-Cavallius Vad är en upptäckt? Det är när man lägger märke till eller kan förklara något för allra första gången. En upptäckt är att observera något som ingen kände till, men som har funnits där hela tiden och bara väntat på att upptäckas.Boken om upptäckter är en faktafyllda bok om 40 av historiens mest viktiga genombrott och upptäckter. Allt från hur man först kom i kontakt med magnetism till hur man kan påvisa existensen av svarta hål. Illustrationerna fungerar både underhållande och instruerande. Tydlig och pedagogisk layout. Lättöverskådlig tidslinje finns. Möt personerna bakom upptäckterna och läs om skeenden som visade vägen. Här finns frågeställningar som uppmanar läsaren att själv fundera kring upptäckter och vad dessa kan leda till.Upptäckter inom vetenskap (algebra, datorspråk, radioaktivitet m.m.) Upptäckter om planeten jorden och rymden (havsströmmar, galaxer m.m.) Upptäckter om olika krafter (aerodynamik, gravitation m.m.) Upptäckter inom biologi (DNA, dinosaurier, evolution m.m.)Upptäckter om kroppen och läkemedel (bakterier, antibiotika m.m.)
