| Description: |
For ages 9-12, this book boasts a richly illustrated 80-page section that wrenches us all (including the wooly mammoth who ambles along with the reader) into the digital age of modems, digital cameras, compact discs, bits and bytes. Readers can glory in gears in "The Mechanics of Movement," investigate flying in "Harnessing the Elements," demystify the sound of music in "Working with Waves," marvel at magnetism in "Electricity & Automation," and examine e-mail in "The Digital Domain." |
