From the Foreword:
This volume is not a reference book in the ordinary sense. It has been designed, instead, to give the layman an understanding of how things work, from the simplest mechanical functions of modern life to the most basic scientific principles and complex industrial processes that affect our well-being. The result is, we believe, a unique book– a graphic and original introduction to the modern world of technology.
