Review

This book provides a history of machines and how they work. There are sections on different kinds of machines. Cartoon type drawings are supplemented by occasional photographs. A table of contents, glossary, and index are included, making this a possible choice for young researchers. Paragraphs spread around each illustration have arrows pointing to what is being discussed, making clear to young readers just what is being described. This would be a good book for budding engineers or those young machine lovers we all know.

Overall Book Score: good
