"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.)

Life in the past was in many ways very different from life today, but in one way it was very similar.There were always some people who were wealthier, more powerful or more famous than everyone else- and it was those early celebrities who set the fashions of the age and who got tongues wagging withearly celebrity gossip. At Home With... uses a magazine approach to reveal what fashionable life was like in various societies.Each book in the series focuses on a highly popular and widely studied period of history. The subjects include famous individuals and their homes, fashions, pastimes, food and drink, ways of getting around - and the must-have possessions of the day.

The ancient Romans were skilled builders, artists and inventors, and one of the best ways to discover how they lived is by studying the artefacts they made. Just as ancient objects enable us to step back into the world of the people who made them, the stories people told can reveal what they thought about their world. This book combines facts about the ancient Romans with photographs of the artefacts they left behind and the stories they shared with each other to present a full picture of life at the time.
