Key Discoveries in Physical Science
Visual and nonvisual learners alike will appreciate this series' approach.
Clear organization helps make fairly dense content accessible. Four
sections (e.g., "Milestones in Motion") begin with a pictorial
timeline of selected milestones, such as Newton's 1687 laws of
motion, followed by illustrated text that expounds on these
milestones. The selections are generally sound, though somewhat
limited, and the prose undistinguished. A suggested activity lacks
sufficient background. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
Asteroids and Comets
Weigh the pros and cons of this mixed series before purchasing.
Factual statements about the solar system and outlying bodies in
the universe are accompanied by diagrams and high-quality images of
planets, stars, moons, and spacecraft. The series' coverage is
uneven. For example, each planet receives just two pages in a book,
while the moon and sun are treated more in-depth in full volumes.
Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers the following Space titles:
Asteroids and Comets, Galaxies and Stars, Our
Moon, Our Sun, Planets Far From Earth, and
Planets Near Earth.
