Description
Book Introduction
A word from MD
A science book illustrated by the author of "The Principles of Tools and Machinery"
David Macaulay, who broke the stereotype that science is difficult and introduced science as fun through "The Principles of Instruments and Machinery," explains the fundamental principles of science, from atoms, density, resistance, and action-reaction to plate tectonics and galaxies, through fun illustrations with his friend, the mammoth.

Caldecott Award-winning author David Macaulay with his friend Mammoth
A science book exploring principles

David Macaulay, a repeat Caldecott Medal winner, has a good friend.
This is the mammoth of 『Principles of Tools and Machinery』.
Mammoth did a great job of stimulating readers' interest and curiosity amidst what could otherwise be a rather dry body of knowledge.
This time, the main character is a mammoth.
In "Mammoth Science," Mammoth explores the principles of science by experiencing it firsthand.
Now, it's not just a mammoth, it's a mammoth that knows a little about science.
As you experience the principles one by one with Mammoth, the scientific principles will naturally seep in and remain with you.

Publisher's Review
An easy and fun integrated science book with illustrations

The exploration of principles with mammoths begins with chemistry and continues through biology, physics, and earth science.
As we follow Macaulay's illustrations, which capture his essence while maintaining a sense of humor, our daily lives are transformed into a new world where scientific concepts pop up.
We come to realize that basic scientific principles are not separate from each other, but are closely and intimately connected and integrated.


A cheerful and refreshing science book

Sometimes science is really difficult.
Even the science books I opened to study were difficult.
But, let's think about it again.
Where does science come from? In "Mammoth Science," mammoths are used to represent our daily lives and surroundings.
Mammoths become biceps brachii, pull on a diaphragm, learn that laundry soap is alkaline, run with springs on their feet to generate energy, examine themselves in a convex mirror, and feel friction on a slide.
Every action of the mammoth contains scientific principles.
In doing so, we come to realize that the principles of science are things discovered by observing the world around us.
From this delightful and refreshing realization, science will no longer be a difficult but rather an exciting field.
