 Rating:  - A great introduction to ROBOTICSThis might be the most informative guide to the amazing world of robotics! The author, Roger Bridgman, stays true to form with the design and layout of the DK Eyewitness Book Series by challenging young readers, ages 9 to 12, to "SEE, LEARN, & DISCOVER" the stories that provide an "eyewitness" account of how robots are changing our world.

I bought this book for my son and daughter along with a robot erector set so they could dabble a bit in robotics. My son has been collecting robots since he was young, the old tin wind up sort, he is hoping for Robosapien this Christmas. This book will give him more info on robotics, a science that is really growing. Rating:  - A no noYikes, yeah this is strictly children only, and I don't really know that even they would learn a lot from this one... You'll find more information in 5 minutes on the internet than you will get out of this book, petiod. Rating: - Beware! This REALLY IS a childrens book!!If you want to explain the concept of robots to children, this is a good book. If you want to know anything on the subject as a teenager or an adult, there are better books out there showing better robots. I suppose that's not really a problem as this is clearly listed as a kiddies book, but look elsewhere on Amazon for truly informative books on the subject, as anyone over the age of 10 won't find what they're looking for here. |
