4-6Think like a Scientist series.
Featuring an integrated approach to engineering, earth science, and mathematics, the four chapters in each of these books cover varied subtopics, such as genetics and the atom bomb--not always with clear transitions. Color photos illustrate the text, with occasionally random placement. Captions and biographical sketches of classic and contemporary scientists are engaging, but sources are skimpy at best. Small experiments appear throughout. Websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Think Like a Scientist titles: How Do We Apply Science?, What Is Out There?, and What Is the Reason?.
