Although intended for children, this charming addition to the Ladybird series provides fine coloured illustrations of contemporary vehicles and is both accurate and informative.
If you are interested in computers, their function and operation, but are discouraged by their complexity, you should read this book. It deals as simply as possible with the principles and does not delve too deeply into electronics. The combination of carefully-written text and instructive illustrations should give older students a good basic knowledge of what computers are all about.
