About This Quote
A book is a collection of knowledge. It’s the same way that scientists use their books to learn about new things. However, scientists don’t always find out everything there is to know about their subject, but instead are limited by the amount of information they have at their disposal. A good book will tell you many things about your subject, but it won’t be able to completely explain everything about the topic.
Scientists are not limited in this way, because they can use all kinds of sources to improve their knowledge of a subject. A good book uses facts and information from other books, as well as its own research, to give its readers a more thorough understanding of its topic.
