Publisher's Note
This one-stop guide answers all the questions students have about 30 products they use, see, hear about, or read about every day. From common items like pencils and smoke detectors, to the more unusual, like bungee cords and player pianos, entries describe in vivid detail the whys and hows of the inventions, provide step-by-step descriptions of the manufacturing processes, and even offer predictions about product enhancements for the future. Illustrations.

Industry Reviews
Gr 5 Up Indentical in format to "Series 1" (UXL, 1994), these two volumes highlight 30 additional everyday products. Each entry includes a brief history of the item followed by a detailed, illustrated description of the manufacturing process. Some of the objects profiled include air bags, bungee cords, contact lenses, ketchup, pencils, soda bottles, and umbrellas. Concise and clearly written, the text makes technical information accessible to average readers. Fact boxes spotlight supplementary or interesting details. A brief list for further reading follows each entry, but students will be hard pressed to find many of these references in smaller libraries. Black-and-white line drawings illustrating the manufacturing processes are useful visual aids, but the black-and-white photographs of the products and people using them are quite dull and often downright fuzzy. An index to both "Series 1" and "Series 2" can be found in each volume. Similar information on the history of many of the items featured here is also available in the six-volume Eureka! (UXL, 1995), but the manufacturing details are what make CDs most useful. A worthwhile albeit drab addition. Alicia Eames, Brooklyn Public Library
