"The Television" takes us back in time with the invention of a
modern marvel, the TV! The book is well-made, very durable, is full
of vibrant color and plenty of nostalgic black and white. The
journey begins in the 1800's with the book covering inventions and
discoveries that were preludes to the modern TV of the 1950's. It
continues through time and takes us to today's 21st century
high-def models. The book is kid-friendly with its pleasant text
size, historically accurate images, and timelines. A good choice! -

biographical information, setbacks and "Eureka!" moments, and a
continuous timeline at the bottom. Historical and modern
