Summary: "The unprecedented events of 2020 have rendered the contents of this book highly significant and critically needed to allow every young learner to understand the value of responsibility. Science and technology facilitate greater understanding of the elements that allow the continuity of human life. The same allows the development of ways for humanity to enjoy the by-products of this planet's resources. Science and technology have produced immense inventions beginning from the Scientific Revolution towards the varied phases of the Industrial Revolution. All of these were enjoyed by every individual in every household, in every workplace and in almost all areas where human activities take place. The advancements in the fields of transportation, communication, medicine, industry, among others have made almost all things feasible. There is now the automation of work, the achievement of greater mobility, simplification of tasks and the creation of a global village. However, every development entails certain sacrifices; the existence of a collateral damage becomes inevitable. The pros and cons of the advancements brought forth by the immense products of science and technology have become imminent. The glaring impact is being felt with the rise of environmental problems, illnesses and issues of global magnitude. This book will provide understanding and appreciation of the wonders created by the immense abilities of the human mind. Moreso, the pages of this book will provide meaningful experience to every reader as comprehensive information provides understanding as to the real causes that brought about the unprecedented events of 2020"-- Preface of the book.
