Around 3.9 billion people were connected to the Internet in 2018—and the majority of those individuals used it every day, multiple times a day. The Internet's impact has been felt in virtually every field of human endeavor. It allows people to create, distribute, and consume information; buy and sell goods and services; communicate by voice, video, and text; and collaborate in real time regardless of their location. Without a doubt, the Internet has become engrained in daily life and is among the most important inventions in the history of the world.

      Gr 9 Up-An illustrated time line of important events opens each title, followed by a short introductory chapter typically relating the topic to current events-for example, in Electricity, the devastating effects of Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico. Subsequent chapters review the history of development in each field, with digressions to highlight major figures, inventions, and social changes, both positive (robotic drones helping to prevent wild animal poaching in nations across Africa) and negative (the impact of fossil fuel consumption by automobiles on global climate change). Long blocks of text are broken up by pull-quote boxes and a range of helpful illustrations, as well as short companion articles on salient topics, such as the HTML markup language or the dark side of social media in Internet. Considerable source notes and two pages of suggested reading close each volume. VERDICT Well-researched and engagingly written, excellent resources for independent reading and focused inquiry.
