Editorial Reviews
Review
?The volume is well organized....The book is well written, uses correct technical nomenclature, and provides current references for further reading. It also has a complete subject index at the end. I recommend Cone and Barnes-Svarney's How the New Technology Works highly for high school and college students, teaching professionals at the high school or college level, and general audiences.?-Science Books & Films
