How things work, then and now

Resler, Tamara J.2018
Books
Travel back in time and into the not-so-distant future to dissect, explore, and discover how all kinds of things do what they do! Along the way, you'll learn why candy floss is so fluffy, how scientists built a spacesuit for Mars, and what goes into animating your favourite cartoons. Look inside, take it apart, turn it over and figure out how things work! Quippy descriptions, full-colour diagrams, and photographs make even the most intimidating subjects totally fun! (We're looking at you, space robots.) For every explanation, we touch on basic principles and then dive deeper.
