About the Author:
Chris Oxlade is an experienced author of non-fiction books for children. He has written more than 200 titles on science, technology, sports and hobbies, from encyclopedia articles to fun activity books.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 4-6-Using straightforward language, Oxlade examines the variety of designs and theories connected with the strange, beautiful, and harmless phenomena called crop circles, circular patterns that inexplicably appear in crop fields. While most recent formations have been admitted hoaxes or works of art, the older, simpler ones are attributed to natural occurrences such as electrically charged air currents, wind vortices, and underground magnetic or electromagnetic forces. Perhaps the biggest Mystery of Atlantis is how such a fantastic, widespread legend could grow from just one short account written by Plato some 24 centuries ago. Evidence has been sought and stories have been told in all parts of the world. Wallace presents a variety of theories about the island's existence, location, and destruction, each examined in light of recent scientific and archaeological discoveries. Wendy Stein's Atlantis (Greenhaven, 1989; o.p.), a more detailed book for slightly older readers, includes a world map indicating the supposed sites of the lost island. Large, colorful photographs and illustrations in an open layout make both of these explorations a pleasure. Bolded terms in the texts are defined succinctly in a glossary. Both volumes present evidence clearly and without bias, allowing and encouraging readers to draw their own conclusions.-Ann G. Brouse, Big Flats Branch Library, NY
