How Is My Brain Like a Supercomputer?

“The Good Ques­tion! series con­tin­ues to offer inter­est­ing facts in an appeal­ing fash­ion. Work­ing with­in a set for­mat, the skilled authors orga­nize ques­tions and two- or three-para­graph answers in ways that intro­duce and cov­er each sub­ject appro­pri­ate­ly. On each spread, clear­ly cap­tioned illus­tra­tions — maps, draw­ings, close-up pho­tographs, and real­is­tic images — face the text. The ques­tions are those a child read­er might ask. Why Did T. Rex Have Short Arms? intro­duces these ear­ly rep­tiles, describ­ing how and what we know about their phys­i­cal char­ac­ter­is­tics and behav­ior, and offer­ing the most com­mon­ly accept­ed expla­na­tion of their extinc­tion. Col­or­ful illus­tra­tions intro­duce a wide range of species. Attrac­tive­ly pre­sent­ed, with up-to-date, accu­rate infor­ma­tion, these sci­ence titles are a first choice.” (Book­list)
