Publisher's Review
Stealing corpses for experiments?
Extraordinary scientists finally give birth to science!


The first volume depicts the journey from the time when mankind first attempted to understand the world to the time when 'observation' and 'experimentation' became the main characters of science.
The story begins with the idea that "humanity has a curiosity gene," and explains, from a child's perspective, why humans have asked endless questions about the moon and stars.
The wheel of scientific history, which had been constantly moving, arrived at an era when myths and beliefs replaced knowledge, and ancient scientists, including Thales, the first scientist, left behind great footsteps as they moved from 'thought' to 'observation.'
The story finally reaches the threshold of medieval Europe and the Renaissance, and after showing the history of science and astonishing discoveries like never before, such as the human body, stars, and magnetic fields, it reaches its climax with Galileo Galilei raising his telescope to the sky.

The history of science was difficult, until I encountered this book!

The emergence of a history of science that reads like a webtoon!

"Science is fun when you know the history of science!" is a children's science history series that combines webtoon-style illustrations and text to help readers learn the history of scientific development in chronological order in an easy and fun way. It promotes the idea of ​​"learning the history of science through pictures."
The book is composed of webtoon-style illustrations, concise dialogue, and information-packed narration that allows children to naturally follow the history of ancient science.
Rather than simply listing events and people, it demonstrates the 'power of thinking' by revealing the thought processes and observation methods that scientists used to solve problems.
The core of the "Science is Fun When You Know the History of Science!" series is a book that allows children to naturally grasp the flow of science while reading it smoothly and without burden, like a fun story.

From the history of scientific development to the quirky and lively behind-the-scenes stories

The one and only children's science book that makes science fun!

Science is the study of how the world works through verifiable methods such as mathematics, observation, and experimentation.
Humanity's curiosity has been gradually answered through science, and in the process, new discoveries and inventions have followed.
Studying the history of science not only provides simple knowledge, but also allows us to understand how humanity has solved problems and what failures and challenges we have overcome to reach the science we know today.

However, it is not easy for children to access the history of science.
Scientific information outside of textbooks is often overly difficult, and simple, list-like explanations can be uninteresting.
"Science is Fun When You Know the History of Science!" overcomes these limitations with its unique structure, helping children naturally encounter the history of science and experience the joy of asking questions and exploring on their own.
As a result, children themselves come to feel that science is truly fun, which is precisely why children need the history of science and why the series "Science is Fun When You Know the History of Science!" was born.
