From School Library Journal
Grade 5-7-- These two series entries explore traditional topics in the lavish full-color photographs and drawings characteristic of so-called coffee table books. Many are of items rarely seen in science books--historic equipment from museum collections. Each chapter runs two pages, with a short introduction and explanations around the numerous illustrations. Because the art dominates, the text is limited and provides just a glimpse of each subject. Whereas the attractive format of these books links them, the quality of writing divides them. Matter follows conventional themes such as changes of state, molecules, and the nucleus. Several times it lapses into sloppy explanations, e.g., stating that table salt in water forms atoms rather than ions. On the other hand, Force & Motion is well written, featuring standard subjects (friction and gravity) mixed with unusual ones (the science of cannonballs and hoists). Librarians should couple these books with standard ``text-heavy'' science books. Unfortunately, no list of recommended readings is included in either one. Yet for the art alone, these books are fine additions to most collections. --Alan Newman, American Chemical Society, Washington, DC
