Review: Coal "These volumes provide an introductory overview of each type of resource, followed by signed articles and essays that support or refute the dangers and environmental impact of that particular energy supply. Inviting page layouts with full-color photographs, charts, graphs, and/or maps on nearly every page provide visual interest to the provocative texts."—Curriculum Connections, Fall 2007
