(4) 4-6 Stickmen's Guides to This Incredible Earth series. Illustrated by John Paul de Quay. Stick figures travel from the tops of a city's skyscrapers to its underground sewers and transit systems. On each spread, human activity and technology in each "layer" are presented in orderly text boxes and informative diagrams with unfortunately tiny type. Although the topics and organization are somewhat arbitrary and the stick-figure gimmick unneeded, this detailed series entry covers a variety of physical science and engineering principles.
