It is amazing to think how much science can do so far and how much more it might do in the future
This book was brilliant, it was really interesting and made you think about all the things science can do already and all the things that it might be able to do in the future. Some of it was a little scary.
This book was a bit tricky for Sam to read on his own but he very much enjoyed listening to it and discussing the ideas and it created a lot of conversation between the whole family.
A fun, colourful and interesting science book full of possibilities. Well worth a read, you won't be disappointed!
Beyond Belief is a fun and interesting science book that looks at possible scientific innovations in the future, based on things available at the moment. Topics range from travel to immortality. It is a superhero fan's dream book! Will I be able to become invisible? Are superhumans possible?
The book itself is bright, colourful and full of pictures and diagrams. The writing is broken into small chunks that easy to access. The topics are interesting too, so overall it is a good book that I would highly recommend.
I think that all kids should have this book on their bookshelf and all schools should have this book in their classrooms
Beyond Belief by Alex Woolf and Jasmine Floyd is brilliant! This book looks at all of the things that scientists are trying to do in the future and it blew my mind!! It really is beyond belief!
Teleportation, immortality, nanotechnology, x-ray vision, nuclear fusion and cloning – the scientists who work on these things have really really high IQs! I learnt so much from the book and really like the “What is it?”, “How does it work?” and “Did you know?” sections that gave little bitesize facts about very important concepts. I learnt what a quantum was and couldn’t believe that they are working on technology that could help us teleport! How amazing! If they can get that technology to work, I can teleport to visit my Nanny in Australia every single day!!
The book is really well written and the authors make it easy for kids to understand very complicated topics. The pages are so bright and colourful and have great illustrations which make it even more interesting to read. If you are struggling to understand what the book says in different parts, the illustrations and diagrams can help you to work out what it means.
I liked science before I read this book, but now I LOVE it! I didn’t know just how interesting science was before and how many different important things you can do with science – it’s not just for fun!
I think that all kids should have this book on their bookshelf and all schools should have this book in their classrooms to help the kids learn even more.
Suspend your disbelief and believe in an exciting future for us all! Facts for the future, not fantasy!
It's a little hard to describe what this book is about, because it's about things which might happen in the future or might not and these things might just make your head explode if you try to think about them too much! Having said that, the book covers such topics as: time travel, human cloning, nuclear fusion, teleportation, mind uploading and super humans.
If you haven't read, 'The Astonishing Future of Alex Nobody' (time travel), Morgana Mage in the Robotic Age (robots), Chester Pardons is not a Gorilla (mind swapping) and Swarm Rising (mind uploading) then these ideas are dealt with in these fiction stories, whereas this takes the ideas as if they are true (based on current scientific facts) or at least will be soon!
Even though the illustrations are brilliant, as there are no diagrams or photographs, it means there is a lot of reading and therefore I have said that this is best for 8+. Additionally, I initially found the topics quite hard to follow as I didn't find the title of each section clear enough. Also, some of the topics last 3 pages not 2 or 4, so in some cases there are two different topics on a double page spread, which I haven't seen before in a non-fiction book.
