Sometimes it travels for hundreds of miles, thanks to aqueducts! This volume takes readers on a journey to the ancient world to see how people created aqueducts to serve burgeoning civilizations. Readers will also discover that today's aqueducts are technological marvels crafted by scientists, engineers, and many other professionals. Diagrams and stunning photographs of aqueducts both ancient and modern are sure to dazzle readers. The text focuses on STEM skills and has been aligned with relevant curricular topics in both social studies and science.

      Gr 4-7-A well-done look at a less explored topic. Each volume begins with the history of the given waterworks, starting in ancient times in places as widespread as China, the Fertile Crescent, the Mediterranean, and the Americas. Developments up until the modern period are described, although most of the content generally focuses on those in the United States, sometimes to the detriment of the series. (For instance, the Three Gorges Dam project in China is not included in Dams.) The different types of scientists and engineers who work on each project are mentioned, as well as how STEM influences the siting, construction, and maintenance of various waterworks. Environmental concerns are also addressed.
