Series review: Energy: Past Present, and
Future
"The two books in this series have an academic air, and
would be good for students researching science fair projects or doing in-depth
research... Both books have color photographs and charts that help illustrate
points being made. When covering potentially controversial topics the tone is
neutral, details are just factually explained. The series offers good, solid
scientific facts."
