None of the subjects is explored in depth, resulting in a mishmash of scientific information, but students looking for a very broad overview will be satisfied. Photographs and diagrams, sidebars, and mini-biographies of scientists are included. Genetic and Harnessing include timelines. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Why Science Matters titles: Finding and Using Oil, Designing Greener Vehicles and Buildings, Harnessing the Sun's Energy, and Using Genetic Technology.
