Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy book

[blank.black]

Need help urgently please...

so i have this book called "Science Matters: Achieving Scientific Literacy" written by Robert Hazen & James Trefil which seems to have basics of all fields of science compiled together in it.

check this link for more info:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/038526108X/?tag=pfamazon01-20

anyways this book seems to be published in the 1990's and so i was wondering if anyone knows of an updated version of this book or any other updated book like this one which has basics of all science compiled in one bookP.S. i don't think this is the appropriate section for this thread and i was going to post it in the "learning materials" section but it won't let me make a new thread there. i would really like to know why.

anyways so move this thread accordingly.

According to Amazon, the copyright is for 1991 and for 2009, so I reckon the most recent edition is 2009. I have only just accidentally run across your appeal, so I hope my response is in time.
Actually, for a book of that nature, the exact edition seldom matters. Even Hogben's "Science for the Citizen" of 1938 is still useful, as well as being a great classic. Asimov's "Guide to Science" has merits as well. If such a book is worth much, then an older edition will not mislead you on anything more than matters of detail; it is not there to keep you up to date on the latest developments. Nothing can do that, not even a science library that subscribes to all the latest journals.
Cheers,
Jon
