Science à croquer s'ouvre sur les fondamentaux de la science (les composants de notre monde), puis examine l'Univers observable et sa naissance, notre planète et son environnement. Les chapitres suivants traitent du corps humain, de notre santé, de nos gènes, avant d'évoquer de surprenants domaines d'avant-garde de la physique et de la cosmologie, comme de la théorie quantique, de la Relativité ou des cordes. Illustré, expliqué de bout en bout à l'aide de comparaisons concrètes, claires et ludiques, Science à croquer vous fera vous demander pourquoi, à l'école, on ne vous a pas enseigné les sciences de cette façon !
