The Outline of Science, Vol. 1 (of 4) (Illustrated)

• The book is an edited and illustrated version of the original one and includes 230 or more unique illustrations which are relevant to its content.
• The Outline of Science, Volume 1 by J. Arthur Thomson was written specifically with the man-on-the-street in mind as the target audience. Covering scientific subjects ranging from astronomy to biology to elementary physics in clear, concise and easily understood prose, this popular science work is largely as relevant today as when first published in 1922. Special emphasis is given to the principles of biological adaptation and evolution, especially how they relate to the rise of the human species from lower orders. Also included are the basics of the fairly new concept of relativity and its impact on emerging scientific theories.
