Praise for the Science Comics series: This series--written by a handful of authors--seems determined to offer a useful introduction to anything a curious grade-school student might wonder about. The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words. --New York Times Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome! --Popular Science
