This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Acclaimed science writers Bryan Bunch and Jenny Tesar have created a wonderful 4-volume set that places every entry within the context of history. The lives and achievements of everyone from Aristotle to Vladimir Zworykin (inventor of the television camera and tube) are explained here, along with detailed entries on inventions and developments that changed the course of human history. Thematic discussions of broad topics -- such as airplanes, heat, and motion -- are presented in a format that clearly shows the development of each idea, and its connection to the work that came before and after. This set includes: Highly cross-referenced entries for easy research Full-color icons indicate field of science for each entry"Connections timeline" element shows -- at a glance -- the progression of ideas that led to the development of each invention Special features-- such as Famous Firsts, How It Works, Nobel Prize profiles, and Yearbook -- add fun and interest
