What reviewers said
A Junior Library Guild selection
"The insight behind these books is a powerful one. So much information about the world around us is actually better conveyed visually, through charts, illustrations, and sequential panels, than purely using words."
"Like having a Time Life Science Library in comic books. Which is awesome!"
