How it All Works is a meticulously and extravagantly illustrated guide to scientific laws and principles by Adam Dant & Brian Clegg. Due out 2nd Nov 2021 from Quarto on their Ivy Press imprint, it's 160 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a genuinely useful and engaging book which does a good job of illuminating physical/scientific concepts and distilling them into understandable intuitively digestible information. Each double page illustration is packed with action - the illustrations are frenetic and *full* of things to look at. The following key panels explain where, when, what, how, and why. The keyhole panels are labeled with a L for laws, and a P for phenomena alongside an accessible short explanation.
Although aimed at middle grade to high school readers, this would be a great addition to the home library. This would also be a good choice for public or school library acquisition and/or gift giving.
Five stars.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
