Bring the Story of Science to Life

Adelaide author Hilton Solyom has expanded his popular Famous Scientists series with five new books exploring the history and development of the major scientific disciplines. Ideal for supporting the teaching of Science as a Human Endeavour, these books examine the evolution of scientific knowledge, the nature of scientific inquiry, and the contributions of influential scientists and researchers throughout history. They are an excellent source of supplementary reading and reference material for secondary science students in Years 7–10.

The following History of Science titles are available for purchase on the Amazon Australia website, (also with Kindle e-book versions for students who prefer screens):

• The History of Biology
• The History of Chemistry
• The History of Physics
• The History of Geology

Hilton has also authored A Science Compendium: Descriptions of the Major Fields of Science, which provides an accessible guide to the major fields of science and their specialised branches (think algebra to zoology, and everything in between!). Written as a concise educational study guide, it introduces readers to the breadth and diversity of science while fostering scientific understanding and curiosity among secondary students and general readers alike. A Science Compendium: Descriptions of the Major Fields of Science is also available on Amazon as a hard copy or Kindle e-book.
