This good-looking, information-packed atlas has been designed with space-age skywatchers in mind. It's filled with full-color photos, sky charts, and vivid full-color art renditions of objects in outer space. Diagrams and illustrations explain the origins of the universe and our solar system. Photos taken from powerful telescopes capture visions of comets, nebulae, stars being born, distant galaxies, the surface of our Sun, and the earth's neighboring planets. The composition of the Earth, as well as other planets, is shown and discussed. Also shown and explained are both ancient and modern telescopes, including giant, state-of-the-art radiotelescopes located in various parts of the world. The book's final section shows and discusses the history of space exploration, starting with early twentieth-century experiments in rocket science, and extending to the international manned space station currently under construction. Here's a great volume for amateur astronomers of all ages, and a fine textbook supplement for high school science classes.

Four dozen art projects for boys and girls are presented in brightly photo-illustrated spreads—all of them featuring easy-to-follow steps. To get projects going, kids need only standard art equipment such as crayons, magic markers, paints and brush, scissors, and construction paper. They'll also need easy-to-find household items, including tape, bottle caps, glue, drinking straws, discarded plastic containers, and the like. Projects fall under four general categories of 12 each. One dozen use cloth or yarns as their base material, 12 more use plastic, another 12 use modeling clay, and a final dozen use cardboard. Each project opens with a list of necessary items, then proceeds with words and pictures that show the work-in-progress from start to finish. Projects include a bright yellow sun clock face, a dancing marionette, a funny snail modeled in corrugated cardboard, a clay and wire mobile of astronauts orbiting the earth, and many more. Here's a fine book packed with entertaining ideas for rainy days at home, or for kindergarten and early-grade classrooms. Adult supervision is recommended for younger children.
