(4) 4-6 Investigating Science series. This overview of archaeology discusses subtopics including dating techniques, different kinds of artifacts, frauds, and several case studies. For each subtopic, a short summary paragraph is surrounded by color photos and a few diagrams and other drawings, each thoroughly captioned. The information is generally accurate and clear, but the busy pages and small, vertically elongated typeface can become tiring to read. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) 4-6 Investigating Science series. Subtopics in genetics and ecology, from "Cells and Their Structure" to "Decomposers at Work," have a double-page spread in the overviews in this series. A short summary paragraph is surrounded by color photos and a few diagrams, each thoroughly captioned. With a few exceptions, the information is accurate and clear, but a lot of it fills the busy pages, and the small, vertically elongated typeface is tiring to read. Bib., glos. ind. [Review covers these Investigating Science titles: Genetics and Ecology.]
