Horn Book Review

Two series books offer low-keyed introductions to high-profile historical events. Each simply written, somewhat repetitive narrative covers the history and design of the airship or the ocean liner, as well as what went wrong and what we have learned. The books are illustrated with black-and-white archival photos, a Fast Facts chart, a list of relevant websites, and a timeline. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Disaster! titles: [cf2]The Hindenburg[cf1] and [cf2]The Titanic[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
