From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. Dramatic titles and eye-catching covers will draw readers into these attractive, well-written volumes in The Restless Sea series, which successfully blend history and science. Dangerous Crossings examines the many natural and man-made dangers of ocean travel, covering everything from icebergs and hurricanes to pirates. Savage Waters discusses the origins of the oceans, oceanic waves, tides, and currents, as well as earthquakes and volcanoes, which can cause tsunamis. Scientific subjects are discussed clearly and concisely, and the texts are as engaging as they are informative. Stories of devastating storms, piracy, shipwrecks, and vengeful whales will keep readers entertained. The appealing layouts make excellent use of color graphics and photographs. A glossary, suggestions for further reading, and a bibliography conclude each volume. Ed Sullivan
