These posts are all short (<180 words) introductions\/reviews of books in the EL library. They focus on telling you what we think will be interesting for you, a college student and English learner, so use them to help you find the right book for you. You can also use the <\/em>tags<em> to find books about topics you might be interested in.]<\/em><\/p>\n<p>_______<\/p>\n<p>This is a big\u2014a <em>very<\/em> big\u2014textbook introducing basic scientific concepts. It was written for middle school students in the US, but it can be useful for you, too. As a general introduction, there are units on all physics, chemistry, engineering, outer space, biology, weather, ecology, and a lot more. The vocabulary is a little challenging, but important words are underlined and definitions are highlighted. There are lots of pictures and some jokes that make reading a pleasant experience.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t borrow this book and expect to read all 533 pages! Look at the table of contents (\u76ee\u6b21) and skip to a unit that you are interested in. Even reading just one unit will be an accomplishment, and you might even learn something interesting, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My two cents:<\/strong> Science books are good for \u201clearning what you already know.\u201d I think you will learn more English by choosing a topic you already know about in Japanese than by reading something completely new.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1693\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-236x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"236\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-805x1024.jpg 805w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-1208x1536.jpg 1208w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-1611x2048.jpg 1611w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience-994x1264.jpg 994w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/everythingyouneedtoacescience.jpg 1856w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Welcome to the EL Book Introductions series.
