摘要
What better way to explore science than through the investigation of a mystery? This updated series does just that by exploring a famous mystery and then using scientific techniques to provide a variety of possible explanations. Readers are encouraged to examine the evidence, consider the motives, and make their own decisions. Books include eyewitness accounts and photos juxtaposed with scientific technique and theory.

Gr 4-6-Using straightforward language, Oxlade examines the variety of designs and theories connected with the strange, beautiful, and harmless phenomena called crop circles, circular patterns that inexplicably appear in crop fields. While most recent formations have been admitted hoaxes or works of art, the older, simpler ones are attributed to natural occurrences such as electrically charged air currents, wind vortices, and underground magnetic or electromagnetic forces. Perhaps the biggest Mystery of Atlantis is how such a fantastic, widespread legend could grow from just one short account written by Plato some 24 centuries ago. Evidence has been sought and stories have been told in all parts of the world. Wallace presents a variety of theories about the island's existence, location, and destruction, each examined in light of recent scientific and archaeological discoveries. Wendy Stein's Atlantis (Greenhaven, 1989; o.p.), a more detailed book for slightly older readers, includes a world map indicating the supposed sites of the lost island. Large, colorful photographs and illustrations in an open layout make both of these explorations a pleasure. Bolded terms in the texts are defined succinctly in a glossary. Both volumes present evidence clearly and without bias, allowing and encouraging readers to draw their own conclusions.-Ann G. Brouse, Big Flats Branch Library, NY (c) Copyright 2010.

Despite their tabloidlike covers, these books present balanced, well-written explorations of various mysteries. For each topic, the authors contrast legends with the actual evidence, or lack of, that exists. The key players in each mystery are discussed, and photos and other illustrations appear on most pages. A summary of evidence for and against each phenomenon is included. Reading list. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Can Science Solve? titles: The Mystery of Crop Circles, The Mystery of Haunted Houses, The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle, The Mystery of UFOs, The Mystery of Atlantis, The Mystery of the Abominable Snowman, and The Mystery of the Loch Ness Monster.] (c) Copyright 2010.
