Ships and Boats

(4) K-3 Transportation and Communication series. The brief, somewhat overbroad books in this series are formulaic in nature. Each begins with a dramatic episode (Ships features the sinking of the Titanic; Airplanes briefly profiles Lindbergh and Earhart) followed by historical material, information on careers in radio, aviation, and the shipping industry, and a look to the future. Illustrated with mediocre color photos, the books are fairly superficial. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Transportation and Communication titles: The History of Radio, Airplanes, and Ships and Boats.]
