Iwanami Science Library: A Selection of 100 Titles

This library is a scientific book series first published in 1993. These books take up a wide range of subject matter on science from fields such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and geoscience,—the fields that everyone thinks of as “the sciences”—to borderline areas with humanities and social sciences included. Additionally, the books not only provide explanations of cutting-edge topics on science, but also look at how scientific research is conducted and the relations between science and society. The Iwanami Science Library was first published with the concept of conveying the deep attraction that lies in natural phenomena and presenting the profiles of the scientists who made the original scientific discoveries in enjoyable and easy-to-understand books. While the standard for books in this series is a compact 128 pages, it is possible to experience the feeling of looking at the world with new eyes each time you finish reading one of the books in this series.

The JapanKnowledge School features 100 Iwanami Science Library carefully selected for junior high and high school students.
