(4) 4-6 Fusion series. After an introduction defining energy and highlighting its role in everyday life ("Without energy, we would not have movies"), the text discusses differences between renewable and nonrenewable energy, then presents inventions and innovations that maximize efficiency. Though the writing is choppy, the book's combination of topics will likely draw in reluctant readers. Many photographs and some charts illustrate the text. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
