The Challenger World Disasters

This speaks clearly of the disaster that struck America in 1986. It focuses on the human error we could all face and how we could learn from the past. Reagan's words to the nation are included and the author does a fine job of explaining the malfunction. There is a works consulted list and an index which is very useful in a nonfiction book. Biel also has a suggested reading list which is useful for educators. Awesome book!!!
