A review by kailey_luminouslibro
The Greatest Stuff on Earth: The Amazing Science of Sunlight, Smartphones, Microphones, Mushrooms and Everything In-Between by Steve Tomecek

2.0

Starting with atoms, molecules, and energy, this book explains where all the "stuff" in the universe comes from and then takes us through various common objects and tells how they are made and what materials they are made of. We learn about paper, food, DNA, magnets, light waves, dirt, ovens, fabrics, and building materials like concrete.

It bothers me that this book talks about the Big Bang Theory, but never says that it's a theory. It states the theory as if it were fact. How can I trust a scientific book, if they don't clearly state what is fact and what is theory? Seems like very sloppy writing and it's misleading. 

It seems like a lot of the information in this book doesn't have very solid scientific research as proof. Things like climate change, the theory of evolution, and solar and wind energy are not sufficiently explained to support the conclusions in this book. I'm disappointed in the lack of proper information.

To see details of the way this book talks about the Big Bang Theory, the theory of evolution, climate change, and "clean" energy, you can check it out on the Screen It First website. https://screenitfirst.com/book/the-greatest-stuff-on-earth-2493875
