Factology: Robots & AI cover

Factology: Robots & AI is a fact-packed introduction to this iconic time in history, presented in maps, timelines, diagrams and statistics.

Did you know that English engineer Professor Kevin Warwick became the world’s first cyborg in 1998? Plug in and explore a dawning digital age of sophisticated robots and advanced AI.
This visually stunning science guide looks at the key questions and stunning innovations around robotics and AI, including how robots are revolutionising fields like medicine, space exploration, emergency response, farming and entertainment, plus nanobots, cyborgs and much more!
Each volume in the Factology series provides a fast-paced and fun introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is clear, accessible and entertaining.

The KS2 and KS3 school curriculum is consulted when devising each volume, to ensure that the books cover important educational topics, making them a perfect teaching aid for learning history and STEM subjects.

Each of these new titles in the series offers a fact-packed, fast paced introduction to the topic. Individual readers will choose according to their interest or perhaps on account of a current subject focus in their school. For instance the key stage 2 national curriculum requires that children learn about the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain. Each has full-colour photographs and illustrations together with an accessible, easy-to-follow, bite-sized text that offers a good introduction to its subject, explaining key concepts and highlighting significant events in a manner that is both clear and entertaining. I would advocate including all three books in both primary and secondary school collections.

Have you heard of the new educational series by Button Books - the Factology Series? They are brimming with facts for inquisitive and enquiring young minds and full of illustrations, activities and things to do! Latest to the series are books on dinosaurs, robots and romans!

A slight departure for this well respected series in that instead of something historical or from the natural world it is instead delving into the realms of cutting edge technology and what is conjectured for the future. Otherwise it follows the same format of 98 pages with fun facts and a mixture of graphics and photgraps. Naturally it is in full colour and ends with the Big Quiz of 25 questions to ensure that you were really concentrating hard throughout. If you don’t want to take the Big Quiz, don’t worry as this book is designed to be dipped into at leisure. Aimed at the 8+ age group there is plenty here for adults as well.

The Factology series is an incredible brand-new series of non-fiction books. Each one is beautifully presented in such an engaging way and contains maps, timelines, statistics and over 500 illustrations. Last year we read and enjoyed the other titles in the series (Egypt, Space, The Human Body, Bugs) so we were excited to add these new books to our collection! Each book is brimming with facts and answers some fascinating questions.
