Book Description
A beautifully illustrated celebration of science from the clever people who bring you AQUILA magazine. Ideas are important. They change things. A single idea can start a war, save billions of lives, even rearrange whole planetary systems, or simply make a person giggle until they pee a little bit. They can be totally wrong but widely believed, or undoubtedly right and completely ignored. What's more, they're free, and anyone can have one-including you! The Book of Big Science Ideas looks at 15 brilliant science ideas and more than 50 ingenious thinkers who have helped shape our understanding of the world - whether they were right or wrong! Thinkers include, Wang Zhenyi, Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie, James Joule, Rosalind Franklin, Charles Darwin, Aristotle, Edith Clarke, Isaac Newton, Grace Hopper, Alan Turing, Ada Lovelace and many, many more! From established ideas like atoms, electricity and the solar system, and ideas that are still evolving such as gravity, energy and classification, right up to recent discoveries like AI and genetics - this jam-packed book takes a fresh approach to science.

Book Description
When cartoonist Nick Downes looks to Big Science for explanations, anything can happen. This first collection of his zany view of life in the laboratory - and beyond - takes everything to an extreme, from technology ("Aerobics is down the hall. This is Robotics".) to the atmosphere (with "threatening clouds" that spell out "you're doomed"). Downes' dark side allows him to see the agnostic mantis, the agoraphobic lost in the desert, and the toxic waste dump behind the much-photographed Lookout Point. Downes' cartoons have appeared in a wide array of magazines, books, and newspapers both in the US and abroad and have been included in a number of humor anthologies.
