Navigators series.
This classroom-friendly volume condenses thousands of years of Egyptian history and culture. The many supporting visuals--full-bleed background pictures, various types of digital images, sidebars, and call-out boxes--take up every space and angle for an eye-catching (if difficult-to-follow) presentation. Glos., ind.

Kingfisher Knowledge series.
This overview of "high-speed travel" consists of colorful double-page spreads highlighting a variety of land, water, and air transportation vehicles and modes (e.g., ice road trucking, fast rail, wind power). The volume's focus is record-breaking travel on Earth and in space. Busy in format and very loosely organized, the book will have the most appeal for browsers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.

Navigators series.
Highlighting a variety of animal species, this title presents an all-encompassing look at wildlife, from defensive behavior and habitats to birthing and hunting. Though the hodgepodge of information can be difficult to follow, budding zoologists will find a wealth of fascinating facts amidst the photographs, illustrations, and sidebars. An "Investigate" feature encourages further study. Websites. Glos., ind.
