review 1: Infographics are an easy way to pick up tidbits of information; so easy in fact, that when put together all you’ve read, you’ve gather a great deal of information and knowledge. Such is the case in The Solar System Through Infographics. Presented in clipped bits and pieces of information along with charts, graphics, pictures and data, the solar system is explained in terms that are relative: “The sun was a bucket. You could dump one million Earths inside it.” Information presented includes how the universe began shown in timeline fashion, piecing the big bang theory together through a series of ideas from astronomers, explaining black holes beginning with a supernova and asteroids, comets, meteoroids and other small universe dwellers.This is not book for the ne... morewcomer. The Solar System Through Infographics takes a little background knowledge before you embark on the book. There is a glossary in the back for those terms that are troubling but it is a book of fun facts that provides information to those who already have an interest and want to learn more or just page through interesting ideas.
review 2: The Solar System Through Infographics by Nadia Higgins is a book that offers all sorts charts, timelines, graphs, and diagrams, about the solar system we live in. There is also a handy glossary of terms to help out readers that need more detailed explanations on particular terms. The amount of data about our solar system can make anyone's head spin. the numbers along can be hard to grasp simply because of the size and age of everything involved. Infographics can help put some of these huge numbers and concepts into perspective and bite size chunks that are easier for everyone to understand.Ever wonder what would happen if you were sucked into a black hole, or how long would it take a beam of light to cross the universe? Well, The The Solar System Through Infographics uses charts, maps, and illustrations to tell a visual story to help you better understand these things, and the details of our solar system. The information does not go incredibly deep, because that is not what infographics are for, but does inform and intrigue readers with any interest in space. The glossary, interactive aspects towards the end, and section about further information will be key tools for the most interested readers.I would recommend The Solar System Through Infographics for classroom and library collections,. this is a great tool for inspiring interest and discussions about space and astrophysics. It is a great starting point for the most dedicated of space enthusiasts and can inspire questions and further investigation. less
