Walking readers through an alphabet of scientific terms, Vartanian’s combination of vibrant colors, rich textures, and artistic mastery combined with Thomas’s explanation of the subject matter are sure to help fuel readers a desire to learn and create. With a variety of scientific subjects referenced within the terms in this book, there is something for everyone to enjoy and learn something new. This work is best suited to those who can either grasp the scientific terminology being referenced or have a passion to learn more about the terms being used, while being able to appreciate the stitch-based mastery involved.
