Reader reviews

Illustrated Dictionary of SCIENCE

This is a very good book, which I can definitely recommend to my friends. I am 13, and seeing my Science grades were a little low, I bought this book. Now I'll get an A in Science! It's really helpful, and the most interesting textbook I've ever read. Usborne makes it fun to learn with how the information and pictures are laid out. It was so much fun to learn with this book.

Usborne Review on the selected book

This is a very good and exellent book because of its illustrated items (pics) and descriptions are enjoyable to read and read and read. I'm 13 years old and I love reading and learning through this book, now I'm reading it a second time so I'll get A* on Science GCSE.

Press & blog reviews

A sumptuous reference companion - not arranged alphabetically - 'for students of physics, chemistry and biology', the secondary pupils presumably. The language is academic and concise-technical; no frills or anecdotes.
