I Know America series.
This rushed overview follows America's quest for space, from the launch of Sputnik in 1957 through the race to the moon, and looks forward to future space probes and the construction of the International Space Station. Illustrated with color photographs, the book provides solid basic information but doesn't always convey the drama and emotion associated with the space program. A time line is included. Bib., ind.

I Know America series.
The brief volume, written in a flat style, reviews the history of the U.S. Postal Service, touching on the Pony Express and some early airmail efforts. There are explanations of how today's postal system is administered and some current methods used for processing and delivering mail. Sidebars cover additional related topics. Color photographs and a time line are included. Bib., ind.
