This is a fairly specialized book about superconductivity. I don't think that the concept would be particularly easy for many children to understand so I would recommend this book for high school students only. There is a nice flow to the text and Billings uses illustrations to highlight some of the more important ideas in the book. The book was published in 1991 and comes across as outdated. Overall, it is an informative book but would not likely be a book students pick up to read on their own or to completion as its not very visually appealing. This would be a good book for students doing research on superconductivity.… (plus d'informations)

Superconductivity is about the development of different types of materials that were used to conduct energy in a more efficient way. It is a specialized book with many photographs of the developers as well as the uses for superconductivity. It gives a brief history of pioneer physicist Heike Onnes and his discovery. Although, he did not know what he discovered, he knew it would be useful to someone someday. The book has a useful Table of Contents and an Index. I would recommend to students wanting an understanding of the history and development of superconductors. Billings was able to put technical information down in a way that I think high schoolers would be able to understand.… (plus d'informations)

This biography is about a teacher that goes through training and going into space. This book would be a great one for older kids to read or do a research paper on her when doing an outer space unit. I really enjoy space so I would love to teach about space and this book would be great to talk about training but also shows the danger. I rated it 5 out of 5 because it shows the training people have to go through and a major tragedy that happened.
