(4) 4-6 Atomic series. This slim volume gives introductions to twelve architectural feats of construction, some well known (the Great Pyramid, the Eiffel Tower), some more obscure (the underground Australian town of Coober Pedy, Sweden's Ice Hotel). The busy layouts, although busy, include eye-catching photos and interesting informational tidbits made manageable by their enclosure within text boxes. The slanted text design may be difficult for struggling readers. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
