Brasch, Nicolas

Time, Tides, and Revolutions

(4) 4-6 Science Behind series. After a brief introduction, Brasch answers thirteen specific questions about each subject (e.g., "Why Are There 12 Months in a Year?") using main text, captioned photos, diagrams, and simple experiments. The broad scope of the questions, from what causes tides to why Pompeii wasn't evacuated, results in some superficiality, but the information is accurate and accessible. Ind. Review covers these Science Behind titles: Natural Disasters and Time, Tides, and Revolutions.
