Great Races

History is full of daring, adventurous, and, at times, edge-of-your-seat races. Topics ranging from racing around the world to building the atomic bomb to climbing Mount Everest will leave readers with a greater sense of how these events shaped history. In this series, readers will be immersed in eight races which are brought to life through compelling narratives. Additional features include a fast facts spread, critical-thinking questions, a phonetic glossary, an index, an introduction to the author, and sources for further research.
