(4) 4-6 Science Library series. Work introduces basic concepts behind everyday objects and systems, from trains to new media. Inventions moves from ancient developments (e.g., wheel) to the present (Internet), covering both the practical (vaccinations) and fanciful (Popsicles). Each busy double-page spread includes tidbits of information complemented by many illustrations and cross references; the organization of these British imports (metric measurements intact) could be less complicated. Websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Science Library titles: How Things Work and Inventions.
