Title overview

Conceptual Integrated Science connects ideas across the sciences with an engaging overview of physics, chemistry, earth science, astronomy and biology, at a level appropriate for non-science students. Author Paul Hewitt's engaging narrative emphasizes unifying concepts across physical and life sciences in a clear, friendly writing style with fun, relevant examples.
