About this title

From School Library Journal:

Gr 6 Up-From ancient times to the present day, these titles lead readers through the history of one type of technology. In every volume, five or six chapters cover broad themes, with diagrams and sidebars highlighting more specific topics such as inventors, inventions, scientific principles, and definitions (which are repeated in the glossary). The writing can be technical at times, and since there is so much to summarize in a short space, the texts sometimes read like who's-who lists. Researchers will find these books useful, but because of the broad scope, they won't discover many details about individual innovations and inventions. Unfortunately, the set is marred by typographical errors. Smart Apple's "New Technology" series covers some of the same topics at a similar level.α(c) Copyright 2011.
