Adventures of the Curious Atom

Description

In this exciting little story for 9-12 year-olds, the Curious Atom takes the reader on its exciting adventures as it traverses the mysteries of the universe and life itself. It is not only exciting, but will also give children an in-depth understanding of the science of life, love and conception as they come of age.

Following is a review by a renowned physicist as confirmation of the story’s validity and appeal.

‘Since the beginning of time, humans, like all other species, have evolved on a path dictated by evolutionary imperatives in which chemical forces have shaped our destinies. Modern science has identified a mechanism by which heredity is imposed upon us and forms an implacable constraint on our lives. The biochemical, DNA may be identified as the “recipe for life”, in so far as all life is organized according to this evolutionary mandate. The allegory of the littlest atom reinforces this image in a delightfully light hearted manner, while nevertheless adhering to the prevailing concepts of modern physics. Mary has established a satisfying balance between these two, often competing imperatives. This delightful story may resonate with people of all ages.’ – Dr Terence Elkins, PhD.
