The Searchlight Books: Cutting-Edge STEM series makes that clear with books that focus on the latest technology. Cutting-Edge 3D Printing shows how a once-sf technology has come into homes and libraries. The book does an excellent job of explaining how the printers work and the ways the hardware and software adapt to print different objects, including food and even body parts. Cutting-Edge Computing with Raspberry Pi discusses a computer the size of a credit card that can power everything from robots to weather stations and is becoming a favorite of gamers. Cutting-Edge Robotics looks at the advances that have been made in robot technology, whether creating workers or exploring Mars. There's also information about how people are building robots of their own. Cutting Edge Virtual Reality takes readers past the boundaries of their senses and explains--quite well, using the idea of being inside a ball--the different ways to enjoy and educate oneself through this experience. The color photographs in this series are particularly well chosen, adding and expanding the texts and giving kids a sense of the possibilities that these technologies offer. All of the books give a nod to the history of each technology, which allows readers to see how these fields are expanding. An exciting series for technology collections. --Booklist --Journal Author InformationChristy Peterson is a children's science and technology writer based in Vancouver, Washington.
