Heather Hepler - VOYA

Dedicated to investigating some lesser-known outdoor activities, The Great Outdoors series explores the techniques, equipment, and finally, the safety issues that surround several outdoor sports. In Snowmobiling, chapters are devoted to the history, equipment, and safety issues surrounding this fast-paced and exciting pastime. A final short section covers the warning signs and first aid treatments for the various stages of frostbite and hypothermia. Each volume in this series features color photographs, a short glossary, and suggestions for both print and electronic sources for more information. This series will appeal to school and public libraries looking for books to round out their sports or adventure sections. The easy-to-read style, added resources, and visually pleasing format would make this series a good choice for reluctant readers and for students new to research. Only its brevity and lack of depth keep it from being a stand-alone resource. Glossary. Index. Illus. Photos. Biblio.
