Here is an attractively illustrated summary of human technology and its development, from ancient water wheels and primitive housing structures to today’s electronic instruments and modern office and apartment buildings. Summary explanations and cross section illustrations describe automobiles and internal combustion engines, diesel-powered trains, turbine engines, the development of aircraft, the evolution of maritime transportation from sailing vessels to hydroplanes and submarines, communications systems, photography, computer technology, lasers and their applications, robotics, and much more. Hundreds of color photos and illustrations combine with succinct descriptions make this a fine reference supplement for classrooms and libraries.

Uses photographs, diagrams, illustrations, and text to explain the basic concepts and theories of physics and chemistry, covering forces, motion, energy, fluids, wave motion, electricity, matter, inside matter, pure substances, and chemical changes.

A detailed look at one hundred of the most exotic locales in the Star Wars cosmos.

Barron’s Essential Atlas of Anatomy features hundreds of detailed, full-color illustrations of the human body and all its parts, organs, and functions.

This work maps the entire 'Star Wars' galaxy. It takes readers on a trip that's out of this world, with star maps, information on all the planets, trouble spots, and trade routes.

Another brand-new title in Barron’s Essential Atlas science series explains principles of mathematics, which is the universal language of all science. This volume opens with a brief, enlightening description of the differing numeric systems devised by various cultures. The multitude of practical applications involving mathematics are then shown and explained, including measurements of weight and volume, monetary calculations, the binary system and its application in computer science, and much more. Architecture is discussed in terms of its fundamental relationship to principles of geometry. The circle, angles, and trigonometric functions are described, and fundamental principles of calculus and probability are touched upon. This easy-to-comprehend volume makes imaginative use of charts and diagrams to explain mathematical reasoning. There are color photos and illustrations on every page.
