This is a collection of scientific essays that try to explain a little bit about the world and it's what I wish I would have read when I was young because I'm sure it would have gotten me more interested in participating in class. The problem with how I was taught was that it was a bunch of facts without the practical applications or the history that made them. Separating the sciences also seemed wrong when I see so much of them converge together with philosophy, logic, ethics... The renaissance brought the sciences back and then divided them for a more profound understanding, but they were always meant to work together.
The book is also great because you have many examples of thinking and writing, as well as background information and a short list of works from the authors, giving you a fuller more complex choice of material to further your reading.
