Racism and Racial Justice

By: Sophie Washburne

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Now that laws promoting racial equality exist, some people argue that racism as a whole has been eradicated despite evidence to the contrary. Highly publicized racist incidents are generally dismissed as the exception rather than commonplace. Readers discover that this mindset ignores covert or hidden racism, which often deals with hurtful generalizations. In-depth sidebars and detailed photographs augment the engaging narrative as it discusses the history of American racism and its lasting effects. Discussion questions prompt young adults to confront their own biases. In addition, the fight for racial justice is highlighted in annotated quotes from experts.

Great Spaceship Designs

By: Sophie Washburne

Launching a spaceship, monitoring it in orbit, and bringing it back down to Earth--and doing it all while keeping the crew safe--is a huge undertaking. Engineers and physicists have to carefully design each component. For example, a space shuttle has a blunt nose because this helps keep the worst of the heat of atmospheric reentry away from the body of the shuttle. This volume examines the science behind the design choices of rockets, shuttles, space stations, and other spaceships. Informative sidebars and full-color photographs augment the engaging text to help readers understand why each design element is crucial.
