From how particle masses are determined to why it's so difficult to predict the weather, The Five Biggest Unsolved Problems in Science provides an accessible explanation of the scientific thinking behind the five greatest unsolved problems in science, including: Physics: How are particle masses determined? Chemistry: How did simple atoms first combine to form complex molecules? Biology: What role does the genome play in the growth and development of life? Earth science: Why is it so difficult to predict the weather? Astronomy: What is the future of the universe?

ARTHUR W. WIGGINS is a professor of physics at Oakland Community College in Michigan. CHARLES M. WYNN is a professor of chemistry at Eastern Connecticut State University. Each has received several "Best Teacher" awards, and they have written science books and journal articles. The two coauthored The Five Biggest Ideas in Science, also available from Wiley, which has been translated into seven languages.
