About the Author:
Clive Gifford is an award-winning author of children's books and has written on a wide range of subjects from technology to sport.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 5-8-A brief introduction to the historical, current, and future developments in the field of machinery. Each chapter has a short introductory article accompanied by a time line from the past to the future superimposed on a montage of related images. The text describes machines in industry (robots, factories, nanotechnology, and new materials); power production (fossil fuels, nuclear fission and fusion, and other energy sources); the military (spying, weapons, delivery systems, and battlegrounds); and "Near and Far" (for domestic use, shopping, banking, and underwater and space mining/exploration). Each spread covers one of these subtopics and includes several paragraphs of text as well as color photos and illustrations with informative captions. Many of the technical terms are not defined in the text and have been omitted from the glossary as well. Lists of Web sites and museums conclude the volume. A colorful and interesting introduction to the future.
