The Book of Terrifyingly Awesome Technology: 27 Experiments for Young Scientists, by Sean Connolly

3.0

2,5/5. This books present various evolution of technology, showing how it can help us, how it works, how it can possibly go wrong and finish with a small experiment, then start over with another technology. The canvas is always the same so it's very easy to go through. The problem with it is that everything seem force together, the experiment is something a bit far away from the actual information, the how it can go wrong seem sometimes push a bit too far, closer to science-fiction, then actual science and the informative part is sometimes a bit dense considering the fact that this is presented for kids, with easy to do experiment, there's no collusion between the age require to do and enjoy the experiment and the age to actually read and understand some of the informations in it. It should have been through more editing before being publish.
