All books in this series Earliest experiments with submarines date from the sixteenth century, but the first practical subs were built from the designs of the Irish-American engineer, J.P. Holland at the beginning of this century. Here are diagrammatic illustrations, battle illustrations, and photographs that show submarine development, with emphasis on the vessels of World Wars I and II, and modern nuclear subs. For young adult readers, The History Series emphasizes developments in technology that have played important roles in history.
All books combine engaging text and illustrations in a magazine-style format.
Each volume has between 70 and 110 photos, contemporary illustrations, and reproductions of famous illustrations from the past. Copyright 2001, Barrons Educational Series, Inc .
