| Editorial Review | Like previous editions, this latest almanac from National Geographic is full of fascinating information, from medicine, biology, and astronomy, to geography and beyond. Timely topics covered include regulations against plastic straws, dwindling honeybee populations, and antibiotic resistance. With just a few items per page (no long articles here) and pithy text, this is a browser's delight--each page bursts with color and images, and there are plenty of charts, time lines, lists, and maps. Featured throughout are quotes from a variety of figures: Leonardo DiCaprio, Pablo Neruda, and Rachel Carson, to name a few eclectic examples...A fun, breezy resource for fans of National Geographic; kids and teens will enjoy it, too. -Library Journal I found myself utterly enthralled throughout its pages. The photos were remarkably captivating, but the information was so varied and presented so approachably, that I almost felt like I understood every subject. Needless, to say, I did not, but for the first time I felt like I could possibly understand things like dark matter. -Amy's Book-et List |
