30,905 | 2 | Woodford covers just about everything middle-graders might want to know about energy in this offering from the See for Yourself series. He defines energy, giving examples of both potential and kinetic forms; explains how energy is released and travels; and provides detailed discussions of many energy sources. Chapters are composed of heavily illustrated double-page spreads that offer a main text and several sidebar comments. Most illustrations are full-color photographs, but captioned diagrams (particularly the excellent, four-page centerfold explaining the energy cycle) offer much detail for readers to ponder. Several of the later chapters address energy usage by humans, comparing individual countries' consumption of energy to their production of it, and suggest ways of combating global warming. Capped with facts and figures, a time line, and a glossary, this will be welcomed by debaters, report writers, and browsers. A worthwhile addition to most collections.

30,914 | 12 | Grade 25Solid introductory information and strong visual appeal make this a fine choice for dinosaur fans. Crystal-clear photographs of models and artifacts fill every spread, in combinations of full scenes, spot images, and inset boxes. Paragraph-length captions supply most of the information, but there's a logical flow to the assortment of facts that makes the book suitable for reading as well as browsing. After providing general background about dinosaurs, chapters proceed chronologically through the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods, highlighting selected species along the way. Closing sections cover other forms of prehistoric life, paleontology basics, and theories of dinosaur extinction. Various features encourage interaction and fact finding: see-also references are given in "Become an expert" insets; a question and its upside-down answer appear in a bar at the bottom of each spread; and "Curiosity quizzes" challenge readers to match visual clues cropped from larger illustrations. The text is clear, with enough intriguing facts to fascinate without overwhelming. Caption headings such as "weird or what?" and "Look at that claw!" contribute to the sense of fun and amazement that goes along with the research. Dinosaur size is usually noted within the text or with scale diagrams, though descriptions of some species, including Brachiosaurus and Spinosaurus, lack that key data. There's enough information here to serve as a useful first reference resource for curiosity or assignments, while the engaging illustrations and browsable format extend the book's appeal to much younger kids.Steven Engelfried, Multnomah County Library, OR Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.In lavishly illustrated DK style, this volume introduces young readers not only to dinosaurs but also to reference-book basics like cross-referencing and indexing. Chapters cover how dinosaurs lived, what kinds there were, and what might have happened to them. A final chapter on fossils brings paleontology to life. Though the book is designed as a "first" encyclopedia, older students will enjoy it, too. Buy copies to circulate as well as to house in the children's reference collection.

30,918 | 17 | This title in the familiar, slightly revamped Eyewitness series introduces the work of pioneering scientists, beginning with Aristotle and ending with Stephen Hawking. Women aren't entirely ignored, although only two are among the 30 inclusions, with one or two more briefly identified elsewhere in the text. The design is busy, but never seems crowded. Each two-page spread features an introductory paragraph summarizing a scientist's contribution with a sentence or two of personal information, a time line, and a small picture of the individual. The remainder of the spread is a scattering of sharp photos, extensively captioned in very small type, that aim to establish the historical effect of the scientist's work. The information delivery is hit-and-miss, but Fortey opens the way to some interesting questions (what, for example, were the details of Richard Feynman's accusations against NASA after the 1986 Challenger explosion?). Unfortunately, there are no resources to help readers answer them. As far as piquing interest goes, however, the author's approach works well; it will even attract older readers. A slipcased poster and a CD of clip art are included.

30,922 | 12 | Grade 49This entertaining look at oddities, mysteries, and unexplained phenomena successfully adapts the innovative format first seen in Pick Me Up (DK, 2006). Nearly 100 topics are covered, mostly on spreads, each with a unique look. "Who Are the Men in Black?" uses a captioned street map to present facts and theories (Nazca Lines, Bermuda Triangle, Atlantis), for example, while cases of "Spontaneous Combustion" appear on illustrations of burning paper. Occasional foldouts, liftable flaps, and vertical page turns add more variety. Beyond the strong visual appeal, many layouts convey information effectively, such as the color-coded flow chart that tracks the mysterious disappearance of "Lord Lucan." Individual entries can stand alone, but cross-references at the bottom of the page encourage jumps to related topics in a manner that simulates Web page links. "Hidden Gold," for instance, can lead to "Paris Underground," "Kremlin," and further exploration. With rare exceptions, cross-reference series are not circular, so starting at a random page sets off a long series of intriguing leaps. The index provides access to specific topics, though broader subjects applying to several entries, such as "crime" or "spying," do not appear. Most libraries will discard the clever cardboard packaging that simulates a silver jail cell, but the overflowing collage of images on the regular cover works fine. The exciting design, cleverly organized information, and perennial kid-appeal of the topics should make this a popular title, and it may easily lead readers to pursue other books on topics that catch their interest.Steven Engelfried, Multnomah County Library, OR Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

30,929 | 2 | Grade 5 UpThis environmentally friendly book is sure to appeal to students who will be drawn to the look and feel of the package in addition to the spectacular color photographs. The text is divided into sections corresponding to the Earth's regions: polar, temperate forests, deserts, grasslands, tropical forests, mountains, freshwater, and oceans. Maps locate the areas, and a scale guide based on average adult and child heights helps readers judge the size of the animals inhabiting the region under review. Page layouts vary, and there is a plethora of information presented in catchy, attention-grabbing ways. Web site references are offered on many pages, as are ideas for making a difference and helping to save the planet. The introduction offers the "big bang" theory as the explanation for Earth's creation. The author tells of his plan to sail a boat made entirely out of recycled plastic bottles from the United States to Australia to bring attention to the mass (the size of Texas) of plastic pieces floating in the Pacific. Facts like this are sure to bring lots of "wows" from readers. A first-rate addition to all collections.Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College, Mt. Carmel, IL Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Probably best used for browsing or in a family collection, this title is certainly not an encyclopedia of ecology as we usually think of an encyclopedia. It is, however, an attractive, fact-filled volume that may inspire young people to learn more about their earth. Following a 40-page introductionthat touches on thethe greenhouse effect, the carbon cycle, water consumption, and other topics,the book covers eight biomes. Polar regions, temperate forests, deserts, grasslands, tropical forests, mountains, freshwater, and oceans are described in 2030 pages thatpresents facts aboutthe ecosystem, specific organisms, modern problems (logging, warming tundra, controversial crops), and what young people can do to make a difference.Information is presented on exciting two-page spreads with maps, photographs, charts, and intriguing commentary, much like exhibits at a modern nature center. Every Making a Difference section has some doable suggestions (use a reusable water bottle) along with a fewimpractical or contradictory ones (Walk to school whatever the weather and Take a mountain vacation, but Vacation without flying). With no sources provided, its hard to know where some of the facts come from. (How was it figured that 18 gallons of water are needed to produce one apple?) The index is adequate, but it does not includeplastic and several other itemsthat are mentioned in the text. Upper-elementary through middle-school students and their teachers will find plenty of attractive pages here for browsing but will need to go elsewherefor much substance.

30,932 | 15 | This wide-reaching title combines instructions for growing edible plants with recipes based on the harvest. The spreads, formatted in the publishers signature combination of numerous, high-quality color photos and small text paragraphs, begin with overviews of plants growth cycles and gardening basics, from soil to containers to pests. The book then moveson to pages focused on individual fruits and vegetables, each discussion followed by a related recipe or project. Such a wide agenda leaves little room for sufficient information to guide children through the intricate process of raising plants in their particular climate. The lush photos of ripening vegetables, though, willspark childrens curiosity and inspire them to learn more. Some recipes include specific suggestions foradult supervision, but most children will need help anywayas they prepare the delicious, often sophisticated culinary treats, such as small pumpkin tarts. An attractive introduction to both gardening and healthy meals, this title will be welcomed by adults seeking hands-on resources that discuss where food comes from. Grades 3-6. --Gillian Engberg"The guide teaches children about healthy eating by taking the good habit to the source: the garden. Recipes incorporate the vegetables, fruits and herbs your child learns about into healthy dishes they can make with some help from an adult." Tulsa World; Title: Grow It, Cook It | [

30,937 | 11 | Grade 36Incorporating a colorful layout and appealing photos of young chefs in action, this book presents more than 50 step-by-step recipes for ethnic cuisine. Dodge opens with instructions for basic cooking skills, an illustrated list of kitchen tools, a glossary of terms used in the recipes, and tips for working with different types of ingredients. Chapters cover broad geographical regions (e.g., "Asia"; "India, Indonesia, and Australasia"; "Russia and Northern Europe"), each introduced with a map, a photo, and a few useful facts. However, individual countries are not indexed. Each recipe is presented on an attractive spread, with the country of origin listed on the edge of the page, and includes clearly labeled lists of equipment and ingredients, easy-to-follow directions, indications of when to ask an adult for help, and more information about the dish. Possibly tricky steps are clarified with photographs and captions. Where applicable, the author also indicates how one food can appear in different cultures. Two-page sections on food pockets, cheese, and flatbreads are also included.Sara Rofofsky Marcus, Yeshiva Har Torah, Little Neck, NY Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Cookbooks for youth are a robust genre in publishing right now, and this title belongs to a particularly burgeoning group, which offers a global overview of cuisines. The fact-filled, browsable format organizes the recipes into somewhat arbitrary regions of origin (dishes from India and Indonesia are grouped with Australian recipes rather than with the other Asian offerings, for example). The introductory material includes a glossary of equipment and terms, as well as clear explanations of basic techniques, such as measuring ingredients and separating egg whites. Most recipes are printed on colorful, busy pages with color photos of the finished dishes and, often, young people preparing the ingredients. Safety tips and recommendations for adult assistance appear throughout, and symbols add further prompts for grown-up supervisors. In addition to the accessible, youth-friendly recipes (cheese quesadillas, mashed potatoes), the frequent sidebars and notes about cultural facts (Goulash comes from the Hungarian word gulys, which means cowboy.) make this a strong choice for sharing with eager young cooks.

DK has put together a visual encyclopedia that runs with the concept of cramming a million bits of information into one volume. The book is not 300 pages of arbitrary fact. There is an organization to the madness. Arranged in sections from nature to nutrition, the human body to technology, people and places to art and culture, the breadth of subject matter is impressive. Vital to the operation are the photographs. This may be the single largest collection of pictures kids have ever seen in one place, and each page shows as much as it tells. Readers can open it up, discover something new, and enjoy. A quality selection for most collections.Travis Jonker, Dorr Elementary School, Holland, MI Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

30,952 | 12 | Grade 3–6—This tongue-in-cheek take on an atlas, arranged by continent, crams information into spreads and fold-out pages packed with detailed maps, other illustrations, and text. The inconsistent layout is a literacy teacher's nightmare, but a child's dream. The entries are different—some read left to right, and others start at the top right corner and traverse down four pages in a zigzag. Many students will find the ordered chaos delightful, and they will notice something new with each visit. The combination of facts with highly detailed, humorous, and sometimes irreverent art makes this browsing item just right.—Colleen D.

30,953 | 20 | Grade 48More than 40 recipes are included for celebrations from Shabbat to Lag B'Omer. Several introductions explain cooking tools, kitchen safety, and the general principles of keeping kosher, and brief background information is given for each holiday. Simple step-by-step instructions make the recipes easy, and some include shortcuts such as using store-bought dough. Each one makes clear whether the food is meat, dairy, or pareve (neither), and sidebars offer variants and cooking tips. For example, the recipe for "Chicken Noodle Soup" calls for butter or margarine, and suggests vegetable oil or olive oil as alternatives. Most of the recipes are traditional, including both Ashkenazic and Sephardic dishes, but there are a few creative twists such as "Savory Cheese Sofganiyot" (doughnuts) for Hanukkah instead of the usual jelly filling. Beautiful color photographs, both full page and spot, whet the appetite. While readers will garner only a superficial understanding of the holidays from this book, they will gain a great appreciation for Jewish flavors.Heidi Estrin, Feldman Children's Library at Congregation B'nai Israel, Boca Raton, FL Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

30,954 | 2 | Grade 46Colorful, appealing page layouts; a brief, enjoyable text broken up with numerous captions, boxes, and sidebars; and engaging interruptions, such as imitation board games and occasional cartoon stories, combine with current, eminently instructive information to make this book a winner. Four main sections cover the history of money, expenses/income, the basics of economics, and the world of work and business. Brief profiles of eight wealthy entrepreneurs and their paths to prosperity and eight significant economists and their theories are included. The lively writing features real-life examples that will be meaningful to students and is presented in a balanced, nonjudgmental style that encourages them to decide for themselves among the various ideas concerning economic policies. Along the way, readers will learn about credit, stock markets, cash flow, smart purchasing, supply and demand, taxes, fair versus free trade, and up-to-date concerns such as telecommuting, globalization, conservation, and business ethics. Color photos and graphics excel at conveying the concepts presented and represent diversity well. Hall's presentation of this sometimes dull topic is remarkably vibrant. Tamra Orr's "Money Matters" series (Mitchell Lane) covers much the same territory for the same level in a more traditional format; Hall's approach is distinctively eye-catching without sacrificing accuracy.Jeffrey A.

30,955 | 18 | Grade 5 UpThis rich pictorial work serves as an entertaining, informative, and visually appealing introduction to American Indian culture and history. Each of the seven chapters covers a different time period in chronological order (a detailed time line is included in each), starting with "The Beginning," or the last Ice Age 10,000 years ago during which the first humans are believed to have arrived in North America via the Bering Strait. One chapter describes in handsome spreads the diverse and varied cultures within geographic regions, from the early Mound Builders to the Arctic and Subarctic tribes. Three chapters focus on the coming of the Europeans, the resulting conflict, and the often devastating impact that contact had on tribal life. The remaining two chapters describe life on reservations, assimilation, and the American Indian Movement, which started in the 1960s and remains active today. The glossy photographs, colorful drawings, and easily accessible paragraphs are similar in layout to the "Eyewitness" books (DK) and make for an easy-to-use overall package. However, this book is much longer and broader in scope than titles in that series and is best suited to more mature readers for browsing or as a supplemental resource for reports.Madeline J.

The book is arranged by the major groups of animals: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Color coding along the edge of the page allows readers to quickly find their desired section. Within each section, students are introduced to the key features of the groups, families, and species that follow. For example, the section on mammals begins with discussions on such topics as being born alive and having hair.Following the introduction are profilesof specific creatures with information abouthabitat, geographic location, size, life span, and conservation status. Fact Fileshighlight specific information. Young readers will especially enjoy the graphics that indicate the relative size of animals compared to the average human. Also appealingfor young readers are the speech bubbles that appearin some of the larger photographs. For example, thebubble Im ready to go fishing! accompanies the image ofa chimpanzee, along withan explanation that chimps have the ability to make and use tools to fish for ants and termites. The highlight of this book is certainly the stunning visual layout.

30,958 | 18 | Grade 59This title takes readers on a whirlwind tour of 4.5 million years of history, broken into six chronological chapters. Each one is divided into two-page sections with DK's signature sprinkling of text and visually arresting graphics. Samples from "The Middle Part" (400-1399) include "the birth of Islam," "a frank interview with Charlemagne," and "Medieval mall." Sections are variously formatted as games, Web sites, newspapers, comics, art, maps, and pages from books. Some of the spreads are stunningly creative, presenting episodes from history in immensely appealing style. Others are so cluttered that they are difficult to read. In some cases, tiny print and dark backgrounds render the content almost indecipherable. Occasionally, the cheeky presentation is jarringly out of sync with serious subjects ("Rock out at a gory Aztec festival"). There is abundant fictionalizing of thoughts and dialogue of historical figures and personification of artifacts, e.g., two Easter Island statues discuss the 2000-mile voyage of their Polynesian builders. The lack of extensive coverage on any particular topic makes this book unsuitable for research, and its hefty size may deter browsers. An annotated table of contents and an index of the major topics make the content accessible. This title may find an audience with fans of Guinness Book of World Records and Ripley's Believe It Or Not!Amy Pickett, Ridley High School, Folsom, PA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

30,962 | 15 | Starred Review. Talk about mad genius—from conception to execution, padded red cover with 3-D effect to the up-close-and-personal images inside, this anatomy book is as engrossing as any science fiction. Dr. Frankenstein, shown in a sepia photograph standing in a laboratory, gazing at a skull he holds in one hand, invites readers to join him as he creates a human being (Don't look so startled, he chides the meek). From there it's on to atoms and the skeletal system, tissues and organs, and so on, presented on visually rich spreads. The story line is sustained with brief, pun-happy journal entries (Day 11 [on eyes]: Assistant has seen the light), and the theme reinforced with remarkable design. Gothic fonts and engraved illustrations and vignettes (in red and black and also hand-colored) blend with state-of-the-art images from MEG scans, gamma scans and other advanced technology. Clear explanations broken into easily assimilable captions and text blocks encourage the reader. The only flaw: the subject most likely to interest the target group, the reproductive system, receives such timid mention as to be almost nonsensical (Male and female reproductive systems differ in structure, but both are involved in producing special cells that join up to make babies). Ages 10–up. (Sept.) Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Grade 5–8—Calling all Igor wannabes for a course in body-building as offered by Dr. Frankenstein. The 30-day program begins on Day 1 with an examination of cells and organelles, and proceeds, in stately fashion, through various body parts and coordinated systems to Day 30, when the completed body is presented for a "system check," including an MRI scan of the head and neck, an angiogram of the hand, a bone scan of feet and ankles, and a CT scan of the lungs. Each page is heavily illustrated, with large, clear diagrams taking center stage, while smaller diagrams, conventional color photos, and SEM microscapes are scattered about. An introductory paragraph and detailed captions constitute the text to support all these visuals. Each section contains a punny note from the good doctor's laboratory notebook, e.g., "After struggling in vain for the answers, assistant has grasped the basics of blood vessels." All this anatomical data is housed in a thick, blood-red cover, with a 3-D heart embedded in its soft embrace. The pages are sturdy boards and their combined weight makes separation from the not-too-sturdy binding all but a given. (Obviously, Dr. Frankenstein was not into physics.) Another cautionary note: as this laboratory genius was not interested in having his creation go forth and multiply, male and female reproductive systems are reduced to two very small, unlabeled diagrams tucked into the section on the urinary tract. All in all, this creation is fun, appealing, and informative, but so fragile it is unlikely to survive intact in its present incarnation.—Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

30,968 | 15 | Grade 48Sidebars and photos dominate this highly visual survey. The first two thirds of the book are devoted to the history of thought and research on evolution, from stories of Creation, through Darwin, to genetics. The last third looks at "Evolution in Action." Information on the fetuses of related species rubs shoulders with variations within species and a time line of the Earth. Visually, the book snaps with colored backgrounds, cool graphics, topflight photos, and clever word balloons coming from vintage black-and-white reproductions. Suggested activities are worth trying, and a guessing game on related species does a fine job of enhancing understanding of the concept of evolutionary lines. Browsers will enjoy dipping in and out, but the book reads surprisingly well straight through, and readers who devour it whole will learn a great deal.Ellen Heath, Easton Area Public Library, Easton, PA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.*Starred Review* Dense with exciting scientific detail, this large picture-book-size volumefocuses in its first half on Darwins discoveries and theories, and the excitement and the controversy that they generated in his time. Then biologist Winston goes on to discuss the modern science of genetics and evolutionary biology, including what Darwin did not consider and what he knew little about; the many new discoveries that prove Darwin right and that continue to fuel debate; and the role of DNA in helping to fill in the gaps. The clear, interactive, double-page spreads in the publishers signature style pack in a wealth ofvery technical information with lots of gorgeous color photos, screens, and boxed inserts. Also included isa detailed six-page time line of the planet over four million years. Readers can browse through anddelve into the geology and biology facts that grab them, and then follow some of the Now try this! suggestions, such as How to find out what was living in your neighborhood 250,000 years ago. As accessible as it is informative, this is a great title for classroom browsing and sharing. Grades 5-8. --Hazel Rochman; Title: Evolution Revolution (Big Questions) | [

Each section begins with a map of a continent and a table of contents detailing which peoples will be discussed in it. Each civilization is covered in a chapter spread that includes a small map of the extent of each empire and many photos, pictures, and captioned drawings. Plastic overlays allow readers to look inside such famous structures as the pyramids of Giza and the Roman Colosseum. The inclusion of peoples such as the mound builders, Pueblo farmers, Australian Aborigines, and Pacific peoples make this a much more complete overview of the ancient world than most books of this type. The accompanying clip art CD contains images of many of the artifacts as well as of the maps found in the book. Though not an in-depth study of any of these civilizations, this atlas offers a wonderful introduction to them as well as solid geography basics.—Clare A.

The amount of information presented for each topic is just right, and a cross-reference icon ensures positive results for novice researchers. The book is a particularly good fit for ESL students and visual learners, as time lines, definitions, fast facts ("Flattened out, a pair of lungs would cover a tennis court"), maps, collections (e.g., a complete catalog of national flags), and short blocks of text fill every page to its fullest.
