(4) 4-6 Insiders series. The first part of this book introduces the basic concept of invention. The rest of the volume focuses on specific inventions important to human civilization. Each double-page spread includes a block of text and a large realistic illustration with explanatory captions and sidebars. Individual sections are well organized, but the wide variety of topics covered gives the book a lack of cohesion. Timeline. Glos., ind.
