(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter McCarty. In Getz's second-person narrative, "you" are part of a Mars mission crew learning about space exploration, speculating on what's beneath the Martian crust, and calculating the costs of this venture. An added "Update" discusses President Bush's advocacy of future space explorations. Black-and-white photographs and drawings illustrate the text, which has a casual quality not altogether suited to the content. Bib., ind.

(4) K-3 Science Links series. Aided by archival and color photos, Moonwalkers recalls the first manned lunar landing; it stretches a bit by examining later projects, including the space station and unmanned missions to Mars. The more focused volume, Eye, introduces the Hubble Space Telescope, describes the mission to repair it, and reproduces some of the beautiful color images taken by the Hubble. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Science Links titles: Moonwalkers and Eye on the Universe.]

(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Peter McCarty. The author of Frozen Man and Frozen Girl gets to continue his interest in mummified remains in this chapter book about the 1918 flu pandemic, preserved corpses from those who died in the Arctic providing the best opportunity to study the virus. Although the text is repetitive and inconclusive (sometimes necessarily, given the still incomplete knowledge about the virus), the book is a readable summary. Bib., ind.

(4) 4-6 Redfeather Chapter Book series. A gripping, detailed text and scattered black-and-white photographs and illustrations tell of the discovery of a five-hundred-year-old mummy in the Andes Mountains. Now known as Juanita, the mummy has helped scholars answer many questions about Incan culture. The text is informative, but the small number of photos included makes the book less interesting than it could be. Bib., ind.
