Review

The Superscience Infographics series provides a graphic-heavy, brief introduction to many current science topics. This particular edition introduces life science. The book covers all the basics: evolution, organisms, rocks and fossils, dna, the circle of life, extinction, and it touches on living green. These aren't infographics in the traditional sense, but they are colorful double page spreads with minimal text for ease of reading. The writing is informal so as to draw kids in. The book does contain a glossary in the end materials, but it is brief and definitely doesn't include all of the terms that need defining. Some definitions on the pages themselves would have been appreciated. The book also includes a table of contents, further reading, and an index. The book would not suffice for research, but provides a base knowledge for anyone interested in life sciences.

Overall Book Score: very good
