• Grade 5-8-This attractive and fact-filled book will be useful for earth-science reports. Concentrating on all things wind related, Friend covers breezes as well as hurricanes, cyclones, and snowstorms. She relates the different ways that humans have used wind, been victimized by it, and harnessed its force to generate power. Sidebars add interesting information and highlighted words are defined in the glossary. Suggested search terms help students to do online research. The full-color charts, maps, and photos contribute immeasurably to the success of the presentation.
