    <![CDATA[<p>Iran's President Ahmadinejad shocked the world when he described the Holocaust as a myth and called for Israel to be &quot;wiped off the map.&quot; Could Iran build and use nuclear weapons? How would we be affected if Iran cut off oil supplies? Many see Iran as part of the &quot;axis of evil,&quot; and America is not alone in arguing that it presents a huge danger. But is Iran really the rabid Islamic dog that some paint it? Or is it in fact the most prosperous, sophisticated, cultured nation in the Middle East, despite its president's belligerence? This book gives you the facts and lets you form your own opinion.</p>]]>

    <![CDATA[The <em>Pockets Encyclopedia</em>--which must be the world's smallest one-volume encyclopedia--gives new meaning to the idea of ready reference. This heavily illustrated mini-encyclopedia with maximum answer potential would make a thoughtful gift for just about anyone, especially students and trivia buffs. A vast amount of information is thematically organized into nine sections: Space, Planet Earth, The Living World, The Human Body, Science and Technology, Transportation, The World, People and Society, and History. Useful time lines delineate major developments in the history of buildings, art, music, and literature. Additional reference tables and indexes are also included. The curious reader can find out about crystals and cells, maps and mammals, rockets and reptiles, and places from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Only one caveat--the print is tiny. But how else could they have included 10,000 facts, figures, and statistics? (Ages 12 to adult) <em>--Marcie Bovetz</em> ]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Pick up a colorful, interestingly shaped rock or a shining crystal--do you realize that it tells a story about how the earth was formed? Every collector will want this ultimate handbook to sound and ecologically friendly ways of finding, collecting, identifying, cleaning, and storing the most interesting specimens. Over 250 color photos from all over the world and an identification directory will help you spot the differences between the many types of igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary rocks; they capture beautiful sliced and polished granite, gleaming green peridot, clay and shale, and conglomerate stones like the pebbled puddingstone. <em>Plus:</em> see some of the greatest monuments in rock, including Mount Rushmore and the Pyramids.<br/>&lt;/div&gt;]]>

Practical step-by-step experiments and projects add a vital extra element that encourages reader involvement, increases understanding and subtly reinforces the learning experience for readers aged 8-12 years.]]>
