Praise for the Science Comics series:
"This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words." --New York Times "Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!" --Popular ScienceAbout the Author

My 9-year-old son loves these books. The graphics and writing are excellent, and the content is perfect for all those science lovers...and those who like science but just don't know it yet.
