(4) 4-6 Technology at Work series. These books examine and explain various technology-related topics, from airport security mechanisms to firefighter training to how toilets work. Each double-page spread focuses on a different subject, keeping the texts concise; at the same time, the volumes lack cohesion and the information can be oversimplified. The coordination between texts and well-captioned visuals, including photographs and diagrams, is effective. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Technology at Work titles: At the Factory, At the Fire Station, In the Home, At the Airport, and At the Construction Site.
