Ideas That Changed the World-Information book

Are you ready for a book that will entice you and pull you in?  Ideas That Changed the World is designed to do just that.  How did they build the London Underground now known as The Tube?  Who invented Velcro?  This book will answer hundreds of questions like these.  The book is set up into 6 sections.  They are Genius, Great Gizmos, Handy Gadgets, On the Move, Explore, and Culture.  You can jump into any section you want to.  The pages are set up like web pages with graphics and text intermixed all over the page.  The full color photos are the main draw of the book and are equally as important to the meaning as the text.   A reader could peruse this glossy page book for hours.  I can see both middle and high school students reading this book not only for required research reading but also just for pleasure.  I think this book would not stay on library or classroom shelves very long.  Thanks to Julie Ferris, Dr. Mike Goldsmith, Ian Graham, Sally MacGill, Andrea Mills, Isabel Thomas, and Matt Turner; the seven authors who obviously poured so much expertise and research into this truly engaging and informative book
