Category Description for Manga Guide To ____
This graphic novel series communicates difficult science concepts in fun, bite-size ways. Each book combines the work of 3 experts (a scientist specializing in that subject, manga illustrator, and writer), who aim to introduce, overview, and pique students' interests in challenging subjects. Each book's main character needs to solve a problem—using science, of all things! In the process, each learns and practices scientific principles. The Manga style does not get in the way of learning but enhances it, conveying tough scientific concepts through stories interspersed with definitions, key concepts, and diagrams. Detailed indexes help readers find just what is needed. 7"x 9", pb. (200+ pgs). ~ Ruth
