highly recommended

Good as a potty book.

Its a very good book, altough you wont find any question you have for science, it tells many interesting facts, and it is distributhed in many topics; biology, astronomy, geology, etc.

I found it good as a book to read while in the potty, but not too good as a reference book, well you can use it to start a good research on any of the interesting facts in the book, but youll only find short answers, and then youll move to other books on the matter..

You will also find it very interesting, because it will give you many topics to talk about with friends, or while meeting anybody..

For example...

Bears at zoos, doesnt hibernate, because they only do that when the dont find much food, and in winter season.

Good for reference or a good read

The topics presented in The Handy Science Answer Book are very well explained. It's a great book for anyone interested in science. When I first got the book at age 13, I thought I'd use it mainly as reference. As I read more of it I decided to just read straight through. Every topic was something I'd always wanted to know a little more about.

The Handy Science Answer Book

The Handy Science Answer Book compiled by the Science and Technology Department of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh is a handy volume to have for reference in your home library.

You never know when that question will come up and you have to settle a bet or a dispute as someone invariably will ask a question that you may know or have an idea as to the correct response but with this book you've got the correct answer.

The book is set-up into categories and are as follows:

Physics and Chemistry
Space
Earth
Climate and Weather
Minerals and other Materials
Energy
Environment
Biology
Plant World
Animal World
Human Body
Health and Medicine
Weights, Measures, Time, Tools, and Weapons
Buildings, Bridges, and Other Structures
Boats, Trains, Cars, and Planes
Communications
General Science and Technology

Wouldn't it be great if someone would just collect the answers to some of life's mysteries? Like, just what is syzygy? Why is the sky blue? The answers to these and other questions abound in this book. The answers are written in non-technical language and provide either a succinet response or a more elaborate explanation, depending on the nature of the question. Definitions to scientific terminology are given within the answer itself, and bothmetric and U.S. Customary measurements are listed. Following the main Question and Answer section are suggestions for further reading(most of which were used to answer varoius questions) and the index.

I would recommend this volume for your home library... you never know when your children, grand children, or just yourself will need to find an answer. Or if you suddenly need to know the life span of a chimpanzee. Its in the book you'll find it downright handy.

Great book if you have general questions!

I have three of these books now and I continue to not be disappointed. These books help answer questions that you may not think about but as soon as you read them you end up saying to yourself "hmmm that's a good question"! This book is very cool to read and if you have any interest what so ever in Science it will keep your attention for hours if you let it. Definitely not the type of book you would read cover to cover, it's more useful as a reference guide. I don't see why any college or high school student or anyone for that matter with an interest in science wouldn't have this book. It's a great buy and fun to read!
