(4) 4-6 Explosion Zone series. Illustrated by David Antram. Despite some needless exclamations, Williams effectively weaves bits of biography, scientific explanations, technological breakthroughs, telecommunications history, and a few experiments into an accurate, readable volume. Cartoon illustrations, though somewhat misaligned in tone with the text, present material accurately and may encourage interest in this introductory volume. The lack of sources is a drawback.
