This is a great supplement to any science history course. It is also a great tool for those students who are reluctant to science in general. Adults woud enjoy this book.

Our family did this book as a read aloud. I'm not sure we ever went through a book so fast! The illustrations make the concepts easier to grasp. This book goes beyond just Archimedes and talks about life in Syracuse at the time.
