Written by a graphic designer, its colourful pages include apposite illustrations, diagrams and information in bite size chunks...It has been thoughtfully structured so that knowledge is built up logically...this is a very even-handed remarkably informative book for such a slim volume and refreshingly does not patronise its young readership (9-12 years). It is also one of a similarly useful series [My World]."--English Association
