Secrets of the Deep

Frances Dipper. DK Publishing (Dorling Kindersley), $12.99 (38pp) ISBN 978-0-7894-9272-2

The DK Revealed series unveils Ancient Greece by Peter Chrisp and Secrets of the Deep by Frances Dipper. The first explores the ancient civilization through photos of its artifacts and computerized renderings of events such as sea battles, or objects like the Trojan Horse, conveying facts with explanatory captions and a brief text. Eight transparent pages allow readers to see different views of the same subject. The second title employs the same visual techniques to illuminate what lies beneath the oceans' surface, including bizarre-looking creatures such as a viperfish and sunken treasures such as artifacts from the Titanic. .
