Review :
"...Students wanting general information or connections from one technological advance to another will have plenty to look at in this comprehensive set. Recommended." THE BOOK REPORT, September/October 2000 "Crisply reproduced full-colour and black and white prints, photos, drawings, and charts are generally well chosen... Readers seeking answers to specific questions and non-technical but meaty discussions of technology-related topics from prehistoric agriculture to prions, dams to DVDs, will be well served here." SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, August 2000 "An outstanding encyclopedia set for those at the middle to high school grade levels... This set is sure to have lasting use." CHILDREN'S BOOKWATCH, April 2000 "Libraries are often hard-pressed to provide good, accessible information for students on changing technologies. Encyclopedias like this one fill that need... The set does a good job of providing a wide range of important technological topics with reference to both the science that preceded them and their current and potential uses... This is a good addition to junior and senior high-school and public libraries and to college curriculum centres supporting teacher education." BOOKLIST, June 2000 "This 11-volume reference completes a science trilogy written for high school students and others with an interest in technology and applied sciences. In an attractive format, it covers a wide range of topics and includes about 1,400 colour photographs, drawings, and diagrams." SCITECH BOOK NEWS, June 2000 "It will be an excellent addition to the secondary school library." AMERICAN REFERENCE BOOKS ANNUAL, 2001"
