(4) 4-6 Searchlight Books: What's Cool About Science? series. This slight overview of forensic science briefly introduces the field and its history, then profiles three current practices: the use of dogs to find dead bodies, insects to pinpoint time of death, and DNA identification. The coverage isn't the deepest, but it's interesting and well organized. Well-integrated photographs and sidebars provide additional details and illustrate some of the techniques described.

(4) 4-6 Searchlight Books: What's Cool About Science? series. With less of a cutting-edge focus than others in the series, this introduction to space exploration gives brief, terminology-filled descriptions for topics in the expansive categories of humans in space, robot spacecraft, and telescopes. The text skips from topic to topic quickly, profiling selected space-science achievements in broad statements with little detail; images of astronauts, planets, and spacecraft are integrated into the discussion.
