Orinoco.com
Gears, levers, microchips and woolly mammoths in an illustrated guide to the machines of daily life. It is the sort of book our staff argue about at lunch, which is the highest compliment we know. --Orinoco.com staff

5 out of 5 stars My new favorite, June 26, 1999
Reviewer: A grateful dad from Provo, UT
I read the first page in the store, the next fifty in the parking lot and the rest that night. Highly recommended.

3 out of 5 stars Good, not great, October 13, 1999
Reviewer: Professor Pete from Tulsa, OK
Parts of this are terrific and parts of it feel like they were written to fill pages.

3 out of 5 stars Some gems, some filler, January 27, 1999

My teenager borrowed it and has not given it back, which I take as a good sign.

Reviewer: A teacher from Albany, NY
It was fine. I finished it, which is more than I can say for some books, but I will not reread it.
