Give this book to any child you know, or advise their parents to buy it! Buy one and give it to your local library!!
I received this book as a young child, probably when I was in 4th grade. I don't think I appreciated it at the time as I didn't know how this stuff would effect me. Now, when I need to take my car to the local mechanic and he tells me that he replaced the starter and why, I have a good understanding of why he did it and what AND HOW the starter works. I can more easily tell if someone is "feeding me a line".
This book covers just about everything, and it goes into enough detail to allow for full understanding of the mechanics and mechanisms of the tool. It is simply one of the best books that anyone could ever read. This opens the door to future studies and complex and advanced machinery which could not be understood without knowing the content of this book.
I feel that every child leaving 8th grade should know and understand everything in this book. I doubt that 90% of graduating college students know 30-40% of what is in this book. If everyone knew the contents of this book and understood the principles, I think this world would move forward in leaps and bounds. There is so much untapped mind power out there that this book could open. The sooner you open the door, the greater the end result. It is like compounding interest exponentially.

My 5 year old is in love with this book. His reading skills have improved dramatically in part because of his motivation to understand what's going on in these pages! We bought him Crazy Machines 2, a computer game that lets you make machines, and now when he looks at this book he gets even more excited linking the pictures and explanations to the steam engine, etc from that game. It looks like he'll be a fan for years to come.
