Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Mike Goldsmith studied the philosophy of time and space at Keele University in the U.K., where he received a PhD in astrophysics.

Rezensionen

With lots of full-color photographs and a simple, lively text, this science book in the Kingfisher Young Knowledge series packs the pages with a lot of exciting science information that adults can talk about with young listeners. The focus is on what we see and hear--from sunlight, electricity, and shadows to sound waves and microphones. Large, clear diagrams show the anatomy of the eye and ear, how sound travels, what happens in a solar eclipse, and much more. Craft projects, including shadow puppets and plastic-cup telephones, reinforce the accessible science and technology with hands-on fun. Hazel Rochman
