These books cover a wider time period and geographic extent than do the “Growing Up” books. I would say these “Made” books might be better used as reference books for a school report, at the upper middle school level, rather than books to be read straight through. However, if they stimulate an interest in manufacturing and materials, by reading them in their entirety, the future United States economy could sure use people like that! Read the full review
