(4) 4-6 Science Quest series. This book tries to draw readers into the drama of scientific invention by focusing on scientific rivalries. The approach makes the text a little light on substance, though basic information about computer science is given. Cleanly designed pages include numerous photos of the scientists and their inventions. A running timeline provides historical context. Websites. Glos., ind.
