Rich with full-color pictures, tables and detailed illustrations, these books are engaging and well thought out. Each page is dominated by photographs with several short text boxes which could encourage reluctant readers to read for recreation or research. Each book is organized into a few broad categories such as "The Living Planet" or "To the Stars and Beyond." These are then divided into subheadings. Each subheading receives two pages, so the information presented on each separate topic is brief. One helpful feature is the use of a "See Also" element at the top of each new topic, which references other pages within the book that the reader might find interesting. Each book also includes print, video and web-based resources for further study, an index, and a glossary of terms. This would make a great addition to a school, home or public library.
