These volumes introduce readers to cutting-edge technologies (listening devices, electronic arms, nanobots) in the fields of communications intelligence and biomechanical engineering. Each field's history, present-day technology, and potential future innovations are covered. The overly busy design is confusing, but many clear, well-captioned photos are included; shaded text boxes allow for kid-friendly examples (e.g., the CIA's "Acoustic Kitty" failure). Reading list, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Cool Science titles: Spy Technology and Bionics.
