Technology

 

In Catherine Finan’s very short book she shows how technology has used science to solve problems.  Whether discussing the first flush toilet from 1596 to toilets of today that play music, to Leonardo da Vinci who had the idea for a helicopter years ago, to space suits that can handle temperatures from + 250 to – 250 degrees Fahrenheit, there are small bites of information.  The illustrations and photographs are excellent.  There are directions at the end describing how to make a coin battery from pennies, cardstock, vinegar, aluminum foil, and scotch tape.  A Glossary is included along with books and websites for further reading as well as an Index.
