It offers students not only a treasure trove of information, but also a gripping dramatic narrative. For the convenience of educators, each chapter includes suggested points for discussion, and references to further reading. An additional Teacher's Pack, sold separately, includes classroom quizzes, instructional aids, and supplementary media. First publication, Earth, 2140.
