Illustrated by
Matt Johnstone.
This third "Uncommon Compendium" (Unusual Creatures; Extraordinary People) features fifty structures (mostly human-constructed but some natural), from the Arecibo Observatory to the Watts Towers. Each has a two-page spread with a brief description, additional facts or true/false statements, and representational illustrations. The snarky tone Hearst uses isn't for everyone, but the right audience will be fascinated by this cool browsing book.
