"FAST FORWARD" is an innovative new series looking behind the scenes at a wide range of subjects spanning from the Egyptian Pyramids to Natural Disasters and Robotics. This book begins with a single question: "What Are Robots?" and works its way casually through other topics like robot designs for hazardous conditions, the entertainment industry, the medical profession, and even outer space exploration. The book ends with a short glance towards the future and all the wonderful possibilities that await us. Additionally, the author, Mark Bergin, has included a glossary of terms, an index and a short list of "ROBOT FACTS" for easy reference for kids ages 9 - 12.Bergin is also the illustrator of this fabulously designed book. He has really set himself apart as both an author and illustrator in this series. For the most part, I'd have to say the illustrations are the best part of this book. While the content is educational - the illustrations give this book an edge above the rest I've seen.Bergin had also been previously commissioned by aerospace companies and has illustrated a number of books including "SPACE SHUTTLE" & "EXPLORATION OF MARS" in the FAST FORWARD SERIES. The author also consulted with Physics & Astronomy Professor, Peter Turvey, who teaches at the University of Lesicester in London, before writing this book.
