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.

In reading this book to our daughter I finally understood the basics of atoms for the first time. Through high school and college the topic seemed so boring that I skimmed over it as much as possible. But this author makes it all exciting. Our daughter and I both really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

One doesn't often find books with the explanatory power that this one has for children. Unlike most commercial "science" books this book does much more than the typical glossy presentation of disconnected factoids in sidebars. We finished each chapter and couldn't wait to discover the answer to the science mysteries that each generation of chemists explored.
