(4) YA Science Discovery Timelines series. Clear organization helps make fairly dense content accessible. Four sections (e.g., "Milestones in Motion") begin with a pictorial timeline of selected milestones, such as Newton's 1687 laws of motion, followed by illustrated text that expounds on these milestones. The selections are generally sound, though somewhat limited, and the prose undistinguished. A suggested activity lacks sufficient background. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
