If there's one constant about technology, it's that it changes at dazzling speeds. The Techno Planet series looks at some of the quickest-growing areas, many of which can affect individuals on a daily level. Bionic Bodies explores how advances like 3-D printing and nanobots can assist with everything from prosthetic limbs and bionic eyes to organ repair and disease research. Each boldly colored, dynamically designed volume features a final chapter on potential future advancements, while ending time lines give readers a sense of just how quickly things can develop. Apart from Tech to Protect, most volumes touch only briefly on ethical issues, and because of the speed of technological advancements, these will quickly become outdated. Still, the breadth of information makes this a series handy resource for first-stage researchers.
