Science in your pocket!
Bluebacks is a science series launched in 1963 for a general readership, which can be enjoyed by children and adults alike. The main aim of Bluebacks is to nurture in the reader a scientific way of looking and thinking. For this we do not simply explain principles and laws, but instead approach issues from a broader perspective, making connections with fundamental questions, such as: “what is life?” “what is the universe?” and “what is a human being?”.
Standing apart from other publications, Bluebacks are uniquely structured and expressed in a way that alters the preconception that “science is difficult.”
The JapanKnowledge School features 100 Bluebacks carefully selected for junior high and high school students.
