Reviews

Grade 5-8-- The fifth in a series of question-and-answer books dealing with the natural world. This volume deals with our planet--primarily its geology and weather--and its place in space. The topics covered range from the title question to the presence of a hole in the ozone layer and the probability of black holes in space. The answers are clear, brief, and generally to the point, and are amplified by a wide assortment of diagrams, drawings, and photographs, many of which are in full color. This is neither a book to read from end to end in one sitting, nor is it a primary research tool. However, for those browsing just for fun or from intellectual curiosity, it can suit to a tee. --Patricia Manning, Eastchester Pub . Lib . , NY
