Published Reviews
Booklist Review: "The Calling All Innovators: A Career for You series consistently gives readers practical insight into a variety of STEM fields, illuminating their history, modern advances and challenges, and possible career paths within each specialty. Each volume includes an Artistic Side spread that shows artistic applications of the technology in question; concise Career Stats, which give professions' average salary, job numbers and projected growth, and required education and certifications; and an interview with a professional currently working in the field. Some of the more interesting examples in Making Robots include robot companions, a drummer's robotic prosthetic arm, and nanobots being designed to fight diseases. Though the tips for charting one's education are fairly general, readers will find ample inspiration within each book.--Smith, Julia Copyright 2016 Booklist"
