Book - Child
"Eleven puzzling events or unusual objects not yet explained by scientist investigators are described. Chapters on rains of frogs and fish, the amazing destruction caused by the Siberian 'big bang' of 1908, the strangely abandoned ghost ship Mary Celeste, a haunting crystal skul from Belize, and the unexplainable loud booms around the world remain basically the same, with minor update or rearrangement of paragraphs. The areas of most significant change from the earlier edition are the inclusion of possible explanations. Black-and-white photographs in both books are similar or identical. Simon's enticingly simple and clear descriptions make the subjects accessible with no unsubstantiated speculations. Worn-out copies of the 1980 edition can be safely replaced with this updated version. THe mysteries it describes are as intriguing now as they were when they first became mysteries."
