Big numbers: a mind-expanding trip to infinity and back
'Big numbers' is a brilliant and imaginative book for 10 to 12 year olds which paints a fascinating picture of the comparative scale of phenomena in our world, from the vast to the infinitesimal.
The reader is taken on a journey through maths, physics, chemistry, biology and technology. From zero to infinity in maths and time, from subatomic particles to galaxies, from the speed and size of the Big Bang to the size and age of the universe, from the speed of light to the power of gravity, from the size of a White Dwarf to that of a Black Hole, from a strand of DNA to the evolution of life on Earth, and from the Hubble telescope to nanotechnology.
Combining words and pictures in the way that has made Icon's highly acclaimed Introducing books famous, 'Big numbers' will fire the imagination of any bright youngster.
