Wide World of Science: 2000 Quiz Questions about Common Science Terms Drawn from Cutting Edge Technology, and High School Science Textbooks

By Al Dreistein

Scientific Terminology is Hard!Terms and words in science are very important; they form the cornerstone of our understanding of the concepts that underpin our existence.This book will give your science-oriented brain a thorough (and very interesting) romp through the areas of science and technology - both conventional and modern - as you are challenged to guess hundreds and hundreds of words and technical terms from different areas of the sciences. I have tried to select important terms from every field, and to be representative and diverse, with common everyday layperson terms mixed with super technical words that may not be common parlance in most fields, so that you are both entertained and educated.You can enjoy this book if you work in an area of science, if you are a science student at any level, or even if you have an interest in popular science, without any formal education in the field. It is accessible to a wide range of audiences.Some of the terms covered in this book are units of measurement. Some are names of chemical elements and compounds. Some are medical disorder titles. Some are computer terms that are familiar to all of us. Some are obscure technological terms. All of them are interesting in their own right!Some terms can even mean different things in different branches of science. For example, the word FUSION has a completely different meaning in the area of nuclear physics than it does in the realm of cell biology.By the time you are done with this book, you would have given your brain the time of its life; you can also challenge your friends to a fun mental duel!Have fun!
