If...a mind bending new way of looking at big ideas and numbers / Smith, David J. 2014  Book
Smith, David J. Book
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication Toronto, Kids Can Press, 2014.
Description 40pBlack spine
Summary/Abstract Imagine if you could condense all 3.5 billion years of life on Earth into just one hour. If you did, the dinosaurs wouldn't show up until 56 minutes into the hour and they'd be gone three minutes later. Modern humans (the ones we are related to) would amble into view at the very end of the hour, with just 0.2 seconds to spare. This amazing title introduces readers to things that are simply too big to grasp. By scaling them down, the author bring them into focus. Besides being a useful too to engineers and architects, scale is an important part of numeracy. Here big ideas and issues are scaled down into something more meaningful.
