The entries examine products that figure prominently in the everyday lives of teens, as well as many other items of interest. Entries describe in vivid detail the whys and hows of the inventions, provide step-by-step descriptions of the manufacturing process, and even offer predictions about product enhancements for the future. Entries include critical thinking questions, a "Words to Know" sidebar defining technical or otherwise difficult terms, and a "For More Information" bibliography of books, periodicals, and websites.
