Gr 9 Up—A common sentence opens the introductions to the titles in this series, stating that, "The history of civilization is essentially the story of human beings understanding and manipulating matter." Using the National Science Education Standards as a guideline, the titles explore all states of matter in depth. The text-heavy volumes don't reduce science to a series of bullet points; rather they thoroughly investigate a topic and place it within historical and contemporary context, making the material accessible to all students, science buffs or not. A few illustrations are included, but the narrative is the primary vehicle for information. Back matter includes a detailed chronology and extensive web and print resources.
