Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8?This title has been rewritten and expanded to reflect new findings and more serious attitudes about smoking. Hyde discusses the history of nicotine and tobacco, effects on the body, public perceptions, and prevention, paying particular attention to advertising. The cartoons of the earlier edition have been replaced with black-and-white anti-smoking posters, and some graphs have been added. This book covers most of the same material as Judy Monroe's Nicotine (Enslow, 1995), but while Hyde's text is easier to read, chapter subtopics are not highlighted. Know about Smoking's new facts and figures make books such as Sherry Sonnet's Smoking (Watts, 1988; o.p.) outdated.?Martha Gordon, formerly at South Salem Library, NY

5.0 out of 5 stars U.F.O.'s (The Fact or Fiction Files), December 5, 2001

This review is from: Ufo's (The Fact Or Fiction Files) (Library Binding)

U.F.O.'s Fact Or Fiction
By,
Anne Canadeo
Do aliens exist that is a question that has boggled the human race for centuries dating back to the 1600's. I believe in aliens and I don't think that there aren't aliens scouting the universe in high-tech space ships. Underneath this it tells about Anne Canadeo's book u.f.o.'s fact or fiction.
U.f.o.'s fact or fiction Is a good book. It shows good arguments from both sides (believers and non-believers). This book is a great book to read even if you don't believe in aliens. All together this is a great book to read. It is a interesting book to read that tells stories from believers who say that they have seen a u.f.o. or have been abducted by them. This book is one of the best book around to read that is on the subject of u.f.o.'s. The book has two sides. Really it has two sides so after you read a side you turn the book over and you go to the back cover, open it up, and start reading. All in all this is a great book to read. I recommend this book to people 7-7777 who like to read about u.f.o.'s and alien abductions.
