Extreme Structures: Mega-Constructions of the 21st Century

Jefferis, David. Extreme Structures: Mega-Constructions of the 21st Century. Crabtree: 2006. ISBN: 0778728587. Ages 8- 14.

David Jefferis uses intriguing photographs to illustrate some of the largest structures in the world. He uses captions with every picture to keep the reader interested. The photos keep the readers hooked as they learn about the largest structures known to mankind. It also keeps the readers interested by describing how things operate or how they benefit us in great detail. The pictures can relate greatly to whatever topic David Jefferis is referring to. It actually makes the reader want to find out more on that topic so they keep reading on. I personally liked the book because the author did a great job describing the structures and even gave a hint on what may be coming next. I would recommend this book to anyone between the ages 8 to 14 to read this if they would like to learn about huge structures and how they have been influenced in the modern world.
