This series is designed to look at key scientific discoveries of the twentieth century, and to put them in context. Each book has a two-page introduction, six chapters, a timeine, glossary, a further information section with websites as well as books, and an index. Brightly coloured with photographs and diagrams in every double-page spread, and coloured 'facts' and 'remember' sections. The books represent a valuable resource for advanced study and will undoubtedly find favour amongst teachers and students alike. The Association for Science Education June 2006
