From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-- An easy-to-understand, informative, and accurate science concept book. Berger uses clear, succinct language to explain how electricity is produced and transmitted, and how generators, light bulbs, and electrical plugs work. Directions are given for readers to produce an electric current using wire, a bar magnet, and a compass. Croll's clearly labeled drawings are excellent, showing the essential elements needed for understanding without unnecessary clutter. This is an excellent book for school and public libraries. Another good source of easy-to-read information about electricity is Challand's Experiments with Electricity (Childrens, 1986). --Eunice Weech, M. L. King Elementary School, Urbana, Ill.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
Reviewed with Christine Petersen's Solar Power.Gr. 3-5. The familiar small, square format and the large, well-spaced type of volumes in the long-running True Book umbrella series have been preserved in this new offshoot, Environment & Conservation. Petersen provides readers with a lucid picture of the sun and wind as natural forces before introducing some of the technology (windmills, turbines, solar panels) used to harness energy on a large scale. A few more diagrams (how a windmill works) would have been helpful, but the captioned photos are well chosen, and the science and the explanations of the technology are eminently clear. Each book ends with a forecast of the future that informs kids about the advantages and disadvantages of such renewable resources and speculates on their use in years to come. Slick... |

From School Library Journal
Grade 4-6?A clear, readable introduction to nuclear power plants. Wilcox explains how the reactor produces heat, which in turn is used to generate electricity. She defines nuclear energy, fission, and radiation; describes how uranium is produced from ore and converted into rods in the fuel assembly; and discusses the multiple water loops and turbines that actually convert heat to electricity. Later chapters cover the control room, safety measures, and how transformers and power lines are used to deliver electricity to homes and businesses. Final sections discuss the problems of nuclear waste, environmental issues, and accidents at Three Mile Island and Chernobyl. Glossary entries are highlighted in the text. The full-color photographs and diagrams are attractive and informative. While the topic and reading... |
