Quicksand (Wonders of the World)
Editorial Reviews
Review
Booklist : "There's plenty of information to support reports, all of which is presented in veteran series writer Kallen's straightforward, sometimes lively language. Each useful volume concludes with a glossary and further readings."
-- Booklist (May 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book does a fine job of making connections between the modern world and ancient history. Full-color photos, some of which are quite dramatic, appear throughout, and the inclusion of accidents of nature...increase the book's appeal."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
Book Description
Death by quicksand is a popular subject in movies and TV shows. Real-life quicksand is not as deadly as the fictional variety -- but it does exist, and in the right circumstances it can kill. This book explains what quicksand is, how it forms, and what happens if a person or animal falls in. It also recounts some true quicksand disasters.
