'A superb series...These books would be excellent both for a library and for children and teachers to read as part of a science course.' -- TES 20030110 This is an invigorating series... They are full of fascinating thumbnail details... The authors humanise their subjects with imagined dialogue and the "In their own words" sections are revealing. -- The Daily Telegraph 20030110
