About the Book

'Exploring Space' looks at the development of space science and knowledge from ancient times through the present and into the future. You will learn about everything from the first telescopes to the newest spacecraft that are exploring space right now. You will discover distant planets and other galaxies in the far reaches of the universe. So come on a fantastic journey into the world of space exploration! Sci-Hi is an engaging, comprehensive, and visually stimulating series that takes learning science core curriculum to a whole new level!

Review :
The value of the first six of these wide-ranging introductions lies in their clear explanations, lively presentations, and numerous household (or local) and global examples of their subjects. The short chapters in Minerals, for example, cover such standard fare as "What Is a Rock?" and "Sedimentary Rocks," but are rescued by their use of short paragraphs that include helpful scientific definitions. Information in Climate Change ranges from an examination of Philadelphia's climate over the past 30 years to a description of recent changes in Siberian permafrost. Multiple colorful sidebars and large and small diagrams and photographs will help students to grasp the fundamentals being discussed, and the easy but interesting science experiments will act as further reinforcements. Cycles brings together information that must normally be searched for across multiple volumes and drives home the message that Earth's ecosystems and natural processes are delicately balanced and intertwined. Science Across Cultures, however, attempts to cover too much, discussing such diverse topics as science history and basics, careers, and controversies. Pass on this one. --Henrietta Thornton-Verman School Library Journal November 2009-- "School Library Journal" This series makes science high impact and electric. The essential question is on each book's cover. There are full-color pictures and eye-popping illustrations on quality paper. With no white spaces, every page is an attention-grabbing feast of color and design. Information is dispensed in large type with key words in bold. Interesting facts appear in pop-up balloons making this book an enjoyable read, not just a text that supports a research project. While based on core science curriculum, the series is visually stimulating with photos, artwork, charts, graphs, science activities, projects quizzes, and reviews. These books present science topics in an engaging and comprehensive way that is appealing to today's visual learners. Bibliography. Glossary. Timeline. Websites. Index. --Donna Reed, Librarian, Newark (Delaware) High School Library Media Connection January/February 2010-- "Library Media Connection"
