The Oxford Children’s A-Z of Science by Terry Jennings (£8.99 hbk,
£4.99 pbk, ISBN 0 19 910087 X) lacks flash appeal, but is a solid
reference for first-year science students—to be expected from Oxford.
Clear and well-illustrated explanations of 300 subjects cover the key topics on
plants, animals, elements and measure.
