I begged my parents for this book when I was 7 and now I am an engineer! Incredible book for curious minds although its future predictions are now humorously outdated, it is such a cool book! Childhood favourite!

Cool for wide age range. Boys as well as girls enjoy the great graphics and details about everyday objects (and some not so everyday).
