Super Science Encyclopedia is a colorful and engaging look at science by the editors at DK. Due out 17th Aug 2021 from Penguin Random House on their DK imprint, it's 208 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

I've been harping for decades about the importance of STE(A)M education and how vital it is to foster a sense of wonder in young people to engage in science and technology. This is a good concise collection of short articles aimed at middle grades readers with a broad overview over different branches of science and allied concepts. The terminology is accessible and does a good job of making information understandable without oversimplifying or being pedantic.

A very short general introduction about science in our daily lives leads directly into chapters filled with short info-dense capsule units about a wide variety of science topics, from microbes and how they impact us to sonar and weather balloons. The book includes a glossary and cross referenced index to make the information easier to find.

The book is well illustrated and colorful throughout. The charts and graphics are easy to understand and accessible and the photography is very good. I liked that it showed the interrelationships between the disciplines in biology, chemistry, and physics. Scattered throughout the book, these interdisciplinary connections are explored and readers are given a closer look at new ideas for further reading. Short colorful sidebar graphics give appealing and concise info-bites for readers to digest along with the main text.

This would be a good choice for public or school libraries as well as for home use. Four stars.
