Editorial Reviews

This quartet of books does a terrific job of explaining how computers work and how we can make them work for us. Each chapter is driven by a central question, and the text is complemented by captioned photographs and diagrams. . . .The book on search and research alone is a valuable addition to the canon of computer books written for young people. Together, the series would be useful for the classroom teacher or interesting for independent reading.
