(4) YA Science Discovery Timelines series. Clear organization helps make fairly dense content accessible. Four sections (e.g., "Full Steam Ahead") begin with a pictorial timeline of selected milestones, such as Otto's 1860s–1870s internal combustion engine, followed by illustrated text that expounds on these milestones. The selections are generally sound, though somewhat limited, and the prose undistinguished. A suggested activity lacks sufficient background. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
