Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-These two entries are eye-catching and filled with beautiful, clear, color photographs and reproductions. The photos in Earth's Place are particularly stunning. The chronological arrangement of each book, combined with fascinating facts and top-notch writing, propels readers forward through text that reads like a good story. The information is current and well researched. There is enough material for reports and enough interest to inspire more in-depth research. The colorful covers are bound to catch browsers' attention.

This review is from: Earth's Place in Space (Story of Science) (Library Binding)

Kids in grades 5 and up will find Roy Gallant's Earth's Place In Space absorbing: almost 80 pages pack in details on human interests in space, from early beliefs about the heavens to explorations and discoveries. The history timeline is accompanied by many illustrations and photos, with sidebars of information about galactic findings. A good starter overview for reports.
