"...[A]n excellent addition to any teen's library." (Examiner.com)
"Whether used to supplement government, science, math, or psychology courses - or to explore the universe's mysteries - students will find this a valuable resource." (Booklist)
"The design leaps with life: varied typography, graphic illustrations, sidebars with interesting facts and historical perspectives, intriguing quotes that could become posters.
