(4) 4-6 Great Idea: Engineering series. Miller does a good job of explaining the reasons why the Panama Canal was constructed, from early attempts in the late 1800s to its completion in 1914. While the book does not mention any of the ecological consequences of this man-made structure, it's otherwise a comprehensive introduction. Diagrams, maps, and historical photos helpfully amplify the account. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
