505 0  Introduction (Orders of magnitude ; Linear versus 
       logarithmic scales ; Scientific notation ; Multiplying 
       with exponents ; Units, equations and other fun stuff ; SI
       units ; Derived units) -- Part one: Size and quantity 
       (Distance ; Area ; Volume ; Mass ; Time ; Temperature) -- 
       Part two: Rates and ratios (Speed ; Acceleration ; Density
       ; Rotation) -- Part three: Phenomena and process (Energy ;
       Pressure ; Sound) -- Part four: Computation. 
520    "In Magnitude, Kimberly Arcand and Megan Watzke take us on
       an expansive journey to the limits of size, mass, distance,
       time, temperature in our universe, from the tiniest 
       particle within the structure of an atom to the most 
       massive galaxy in the universe; from the speed at which 
       grass grows (about 2 to 6 inches a month) to the speed of 
       light. Fully-illustrated with four-color drawings and 
       infographics throughout and organized into sections 
       including Size and Amount (Distance, Area, Volume, Mass, 
       Time, Temperature), Motion and Rate (Speed, Acceleration, 
       Density, Rotation), and Phenomena and Processes (Energy, 
       Pressure, Sound, Wind, Computation), Magnitude shows us 
       the scale of our world in a clear, visual way that our 
       relatively medium-sized human brains can easily 
       understand."--|cPublisher.
