«Almost Everyone's Guide to Science» is the popular science guide by John Gribbin and Mary Gribbin, published by Phoenix in paperback in 1999 (280 pages, in English).
A journey through the major themes of modern science: the origin of the universe, black holes, the formation of atoms in stars, the evolution of our species and the workings of the human brain. The work connects disciplines such as physics, biology and chemistry to show how they relate to one another, from the appearance of subatomic particles in the Big Bang to what evolutionary theory explains about our way of thinking and behaving.
For readers who want an overall view of current science without needing prior knowledge.
