Aimed at a wide range of science and engineering students, Advances in Science is a four-skill course which offers a little bit more than your average technology textbook. As its subtitle suggests, the book covers both the history of scientific discoveries, in fields such as astronomy, atoms, radiation and medicine, and the likely developments of technology in the future. Along with reading and listening comprehension questions, it also includes vocabulary-building exercises which focus upon fundamental scientific terminology and a technical language section which introduces key scientific and engineering themes, including formulas, shapes, dimensions, graphs, technical equipment and functions. Thanks to its wide variety of activities, Advances in Science provides students with a well-rounded introduction to the technology of today and tomorrow, and offers them the linguistic tools with which to understand and discuss them.
