This series examines five technological and scientific advances and the pros and cons of their proliferation. The chapters start with thought-provoking focus questions and contain diagrams, vocabulary, images, and information boxes. The books follow each technology through its history, and into the speculative future with specific case studies to help illustrate the topic. The books also feature a section of resources for further research which includes books and online articles. There are occasional long pages of technical information, which could intimidate some readers. Overall, this a good source of information for research assignments. Bibliography. Index. Timeline.
