Trivia

I bought this book for my wife as a gift. She loves science & trivia. It's a great read & highly recommended.

Interesting

This is an interesting book. It is fairly limited because there is plenty more than 101 things that everyone should know about science. But to give the author credit the 101 things that were chosen for this book would be right there on the top of my list as well. This is written in the form of a question and answer. The book is divided into topics- earth science, chemistry etc. And then in each section there is a series of questions and answers. This is an educational book. My young son who is seven enjoyed reading it and has learned a lot from it. It is something you might consider adding to your library if you have other science books available. It is not a curriculum and won't teach you all you need to know about science. Enjoy.
