Reviews

"This set is a browsers' delight as well as a rich resource for science or pop-history report writers."
School Library Journal , Series Made Simple
"Marsico takes readers on a smelly tour that roams widely, both historically and geographically. Each topic gets one relatively short but well-written page of text and a full-page photo with several captions."
