From basic mathematical and physical formulas that govern much of our
world to the components of matter; from the structure of the cosmos to
that of the human body-the discoveries of scientists over the last
millennium have been remarkable.
Sciencia gathers together Useful Mathematical and Physical Formulae,
Q.E.D, Essential Elements, Evolution, The Human Body, and The
Compact Cosmos, six elegant and insightful short volumes spanning the
realms of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, evolution, and
astronomy, offering invaluable information to today's readers. Lavishly
illustrated with engravings, woodcuts, and original drawings and
diagrams, Sciencia will inspire readers of all ages to take an
interest in the interconnected knowledge of the modern sciences.
Beautifully produced in thirteen different colors of ink, Sciencia is
an essential reference and an elegant gift.
Wooden Books was founded in 1999 by designer John Martineau near
Hay-on-Wye. The aim was to produce a beautiful series of recycled books
based on the classical philosophies, arts and sciences. Using the
Beatrix Potter formula of text facing picture pages, and old-styles
fonts, along with hand-drawn illustrations and 19th century engravings,
the books are designed not to date. Small but stuffed with information.
Eco friendly and educational. Big ideas in a tiny space. There are over
1,000,000 Wooden Books now in print worldwide and growing.
