Reviewed by Amazon.com:
How do birds fly? How are sedimentary rocks formed? How have animals adapted themselves to living in caves? Drawing on a series of questions that children might ask, a team of scientists proposes answers in this manual for adult readers. They address large issues such as atmospheric phenomena, ecosystemic relationships, and animal communication with brief essays, each well illustrated with charts, diagrams, and photographs. Their work yields an invaluable resource that will be especially helpful to science teachers. --Greg McNamee
