In Engineering , readers learn that engineering is the practice of designing and building useful objects, from the bridges over a river to the boats that go under and cars that drive over them. Power Stations and Electricity acknowledges the increasing energy demand, showing how nuclear power, fossil fuels, hydrodams, solar farms, and more contribute to the Earth’s energy needs (some in cleaner ways than others). Advancement is the focus of Technology , where the evolution of medical tech has lengthened life expectancy and better robot tech has made dangerous jobs safer. In each book, slice illustrations pick out interesting details that merit further explanation, accompanying the detailed text to keep readers engaged.
