Reviews

Although this book wasn't specifically published for young people, teens are probably the best audience for this compendium of history's mysteries. Offering more breadth than depth, the book is good for browsing, with plenty of color photographs to draw in readers. It's hard to think of a myth or mystery that isn't covered. The "Mysteries of the Past" section looks at Atlantis, Stonehenge, Easter Island, and Camelot, among others. There are also sections on the mysteries of nature (dowsing, feng shui, Bigfoot); the mysteries of space (Roswell, crop circles, alien abductions); mind and matter (ESP, psychics, Nostradamus); and religious questions, including mysteries of the Bible, miracles, and faith healing. The book ends with "The World Beyond," which deals with life after death. Individual topics, sometimes grouped together, are handled on two-page spreads. The typeface is small and often in white set against dark backgrounds, making it hard to read. Fortunately, the topics are fascinating enough to circumvent that pitfall. Ilene Cooper
