About this title

From Booklist:

Woodford covers just about everything middle-graders might want to know about energy in this offering from the See for Yourself series. He defines energy, giving examples of both potential and kinetic forms; explains how energy is released and travels; and provides detailed discussions of many energy sources. Chapters are composed of heavily illustrated double-page spreads that offer a main text and several sidebar comments. Most illustrations are full-color photographs, but captioned diagrams (particularly the excellent, four-page centerfold explaining the energy cycle) offer much detail for readers to ponder. Several of the later chapters address energy usage by humans, comparing individual countries' consumption of energy to their production of it, and suggest ways of combating global warming. Capped with facts and figures, a time line, and a glossary, this will be welcomed by debaters, report writers, and browsers. A worthwhile addition to most collections. Kay Weisman
