ABOUT THE BOOK : The purpose of writing a book of this kind is twofold—to win
back those children and teenagers who find their classroom
lessons dull or hard and stimulate those who have already
come under the spell of science for further studies.
The book is specially aimed at children and teenagers in the
age group 8 to 18. It would also entertain any science interested
layman between 8 and 80 any time, any where.
REVIEWS : "...is a good book to whet your appetite for information on
science." — Youth Times
" G o o d for all those between 8 and 80." — Hindustan Times
"Take your time over the book, do not try all the quizzes, all
at once. Save some up for one of those days when nothing, not
even lunch, is exciting." — Children's World
