Industry Reviews
Gr 4-6 Intended for casual browsing, these slim volumes feature cutaway illustrations, haphazardly labeled and surrounded by brief comments or anecdotes. A dozen spacecraft float through Space, from a Mercury capsule to the Hubble telescope, including Voskhod 2 and an Ariane rocket; the Cars depicted are evenly split between racing models and classics like the Austin Mini and a '57 Cadillac. The illustrators attempt to add individuality to each scene with human figures a female astronaut demonstrates the ``Manned (!) Maneuvering Unit,'' for instance, and a wounded soldier lies in the jeep but much of the fine detail has been simplified, and the paintings have a generic look. Snippets of historical information and performance data make up the text; labels use mostly Americans terms (but mufflers are called ``exhaust silencers''). Adequate, if unspectacular, alternatives to the ``Easy Read Fact Books'' (Watts) and other lookalike series. John Peters, New York Public Library
