A broad reference to science and technology

Organized around fields including space and time, technology, power, the human body, and the environment, this revised fourth edition offers a wide-ranging reference for exploring how science connects with everyday life. The publisher description highlights coverage of SpaceX launches, climate change, and advances in AI alongside its larger subject areas. Its encyclopedia format makes it a general-purpose resource for dipping into different topics, rather than a guide devoted to one branch of science.
