Charles Babbage: And the Engines of Perfection… par Bruce Collier
The title is excellent, but the work itself has flaws. Earlier writers about science for young adults tended to be funnier. Contemporary writers never seem to see any humor in scientists or their activities. I had no trouble following the discussion of the invention of the difference engine, but about the only thing I got from the chapter on the analytical engine was that there were strong similarities to the architecture of a modern computer.
