Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy Audiobook (Free)

Knowledge of the basic ideas and principles of science is fundamental to cultural literacy. But most books on science are often too obscure or too specialized to accomplish the general audience much good.

Science Matters is a rare exception-a science book for the general reader that is informative plenty of to be a popular textbook for introductory classes in senior high school and college, and yet well-written more than enough to charm to general readers uncomfortable with scientific jargon and complicated mathematics. And now, revised and expanded for the very first time in almost two decades, it is up-to-date, so that readers can enjoy Hazen and Trefil’s refreshingly accessible explanations of the most recent advancements in science, from particle physics to biotechnology.
