The How and Why Wonder Book of Electricity

by Jerome J. Notkin

Here at last is the definitive book on skeet shooting. The name of its author, Barney Hartman, is already a byword within North America's skeet shooting community. For novices, it's enough to say that during the last twenty years Hartman has carried off just about every major skeet shooting trophy on the continent. And now he tells in simple, easy-to-understand language just how he did it. Step by step in words and pictures he takes the reader through every conceivable aspect of skeet -- and then, having covered the fundamentals (which apply to trap shooting as well), he candidly reveals his own personal secrets of success.

Reviews

[Sam · Rating 3 out of 5]

While this is aimed at children, it is still very interesting and surprisingly engrossing as a grown up as the basics of electricity and its uses is told through stories and experiments that can be tried and tested at home. The illustrations are of course bright and colourful but they are just as informative as the text and do well to catch the eye.
