How the Automobile Changed History
This set delivers plenty of report information and encourages readers to think about how technology has affected their lives, making it an excellent choice.
These books focus on pivotal inventions as historical events, examining why each was created and what preceded it; how each has changed life today; and how it will evolve. Supplemented with excellent photos, archival images, and diagrams, the well-written narratives also clearly explain the technology of each invention. There are three other fall 2015 books in this series. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Essential Library of Inventions titles: How the Light Bulb Changed History, How the Refrigerator Changed History, How the Internet Changed History, How the Toilet Changed History, and How the Printing Press Changed History.
Aztec Empire
Additional purchases; Chinese and Mauryan in particular would make good options for report writing.
Ancient Civilizations of Western Asia and the Mediterranean: From the Hittites to The Phoenicians
Libraries that have the previous Cavendish publications will not find much new here, and those that don't should consider it at most an additional report purchase.
The Bird's Nest
These volumes are unlikely to draw a general audience and will not be especially useful to report writers.
Badlands National Park
These titles could be used as travel guides, and they also explain the challenges and importance of preserving some of the country's most beautiful and geographically important places, making them good report choices.
This series provides an in-depth look at the history, development, and biological and geological formation of America's national parks. The information is well organized and presented in erudite text. Maps and large, gorgeous photographs of landscapes and wildlife appear prominently in otherwise understated layouts. An appendix in each volume provides further information on animals and planning a visit. Websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Preserving America titles: Badlands National Park, Big Bend National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and Rocky Mountain National Park.
Benjamin Netanyahu: Leading the Way for Israel
The entire set is a sound choice for libraries that need in-depth report information about Israel. For libraries that don't need all volumes, Zohar's strong writing makes Experience and Arab World good standalone purchases.
Conquistadors
The strong visual appeal will draw report writers and general reading audiences, even in the crowded field of extant sets on warriors, making them good additional choices.
India
Readers are likely to find these titles difficult to read, and they don't improve on extant materials. At best, supplemental report choices.
