Using the ever-popular by-the-numbers format, these entries in the Technology Breakthroughs series (8 new titles) use double-page spreads to introduce 12 key inventions that revolutionized different types of technology and ultimately show the technology's progression. Movie Technology starts with the development of moviemaking, including adding sound, color, and animation, and ends with ways to watch movies, including on large screens, in 3-D, and by streaming at home. The spreads also feature several archival or color photographs, sidebars, questions, and boxes with even more quick facts by the numbers. A concluding "Fact Sheet" offers still-more detailed and interesting connections to technology. Browsers and reluctant readers will find the series' format most appealing.
