What fits in your pocket yet holds the continents, the oceans, and all the stars? The Pocket Science Encyclopedia! This small but sturdy volume is organized into four main themed categories: "Chemistry and Physics," "Earth and Weather," "Space," and "The Living World." In these categories are more than 200 two-page entries on more detailed subjects, like "Explosive Volcanoes," "Life Cycle of a Star," and "Simple Invertebrates." To supplement the text information, more than 1,000 photos, illustrations, and diagrams help readers understand even the most difficult scientific topic. This is the book to take on a field trip, vacation, or visit to the boring relatives' house, because it's filled with great tidbits and stuff to investigate. For a bigger, stay-at-home version of this fact-packed little encyclopedia, The DK Science Encyclopedia can't be beat. (Ages 9 to 12) --Therese Littleton
From School Library Journal
Grade 4-8?A revision of the 1993 edition with minor changes and additions, this volume differs from its nearest competitor, The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia (1993) chiefly in its basic organization; rather than an alphabetical arrangement, the 280 entries are grouped into 12 topical sections ("Weather," "Ecology," "Reactions," etc.). Each one-to-two page article is drizzled with small, clipped color photos and paintings supplemented by boxed capsule biographies, brief side excursions, and see-also references. The book concludes with a relatively dense "Fact Finder Section" into which are gathered charts, statistics, and specialized terms. Updating has been done with such a light hand that there is still no mention of flat-screen TV, the World Wide Web, cloned mammals, or the Mars Pathfinder expedition. Still, for its emphasis on the interconnectedness of science and technology, this title has a place in collections. Consider it as a fresh replacement copy rather than a new work.?John Peters, New York Public Library
