The Technology of Ancient China

Shoup, Kate

For large collections in need of additional report fodder.

Do You Really Taste with Your Nose?: Questions About the Senses

CANAVAN, Thomas

Although not a replacement for straightforward explanations of body systems, these volumes have definite browser appeal and may spur readers to pursue additional research on topics of interest.

Secrets of the U.S. Civil War

Omoth, Tyler

Readers won't learn many "secrets" from this set, making it supplementary to most collections.

This book describes some lesser-known aspects of the Great War, with emphasis on secret plots and pacts, weapons, spies, and technology. Each topic, mainly illustrated with black-and-white photographs, is briefly covered; fact sidebars and definitions of technical terms provide supplemental information. The last chapter is an unfortunate hodgepodge of topics. Critical thinking questions using the Common Core are appended. Reading list. Glos., ind.

Detecting Hurricanes

VENTURA, Marne

Teachers building science curricula may want the entire set to make comparisons and connections among volumes, although each book stands alone for collections needing to supplement only specific subject areas.
