Here's a book that will tell you and show you how a skyscraper is built, how they get the music to stay on a CD or tape, and wonderful things about space - rockets, materials, probes, telescopes. It will show you how they're designed, built, maintained and flown. If you are in middle school, high school, college, or the "real world," here is a book to answer your questions in a way that is simple and entertaining. This book is also an excellent resource for parents to answer those inevitable little people questions, "How?" and "Why?" that come as children explore the world around them.

The book includes a glossary of terms, a brief explanation of some basic scientific principles, and is peppered throughout with useful internet addresses for more indepth information and research.
