Horn Book Review

Short paragraphs discuss renewable alternatives to fossil fuels such as water, wind, nuclear and solar power, as well as recent innovations such as hybrid cars. Alternative power drawbacks are often related solely in terms of human cost, and the chunks of text aren't incorporated into a coherent whole. A chaotic layout, with color illustrations sometimes overlapping photographs, creates a choppy look. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
