Product Description
WHAT'S THAT STIRRING AND WHIRRING?

Robots have left the lab and are on the move, discovering sunken treasure, traveling deep into space, and venturing inside raging infernos. Read about the real-life robots that are mowing our lawns, spying on us, saving lives, and doing what humans cannot -- dealing with deadly poisons and explosive devices! But that's not all. You'll learn about what might be in store with advances in artificial intelligence, robots that are learning to mimic human emotions, and even half-human, half-robot cyborgs. Could a robot rebellion occur in the future? Will nanorobots be so small that a thousand of them could hide behind a pinhead? From giant car-crushing machines to the latest microbots working inside the human body, this is the complete guide to the exciting world of robotics.

5 out of 5 stars Robots!   December 30, 2008
My son received this book for Christmas after showing interest in it at the school bookfair. Amazon had the book for $8 cheaper - I love that. The book covers robots from the early stages all the way through the movies and into the future. It has interactive pages which my 8 yr old son thought was cool. My son has always loved legos and building his own creations. Perhaps this book will give him ideas for his future. He will definitely grow with this book.


5 out of 5 stars For younger kids too.   July 29, 2008

My 5 year old son LOVES this book. It has lots of cool pictures and is easy for him to understand when I read it to him. He is so into this book that he can listen to all 47 pages at one sitting and still want to go back and thumb through, talking about the pictures. Totally worth the money.

I like the book a lot. I want to get additional information about the PaPeRos in page 31 of this book.

Please reply.

Robots by Clive Gifford is a complete science lesson on Robots compiled into one book. Topics included in the book are What are Robots, Robot Arms, and various type of robots. This book will teach children lots of great information about robots. Children will see how robots are used in space, to help doctors, and how robots are used in space.

I like the hands on projects that were in the back of the book. These would make great projects to share with friends.

I would recommed this book for kids ages 9-12. I feel that mostly boys will enjoy this book. They seem to be more into robots than girls most of the time.
