|summary=As parents, we can often be bombarded with questions as our children start to discover the world. These questions soon become increasingly complex, especially with the latest technological advances. How do computers work? What's inside a smartphone? How can earth communicate with spacecraft? Thankfully we now have a handy, illustrated guide to help us: ''Infographics: Technology''.

|summary=Just occasionally it's necessary to begin by saying what a book ''isn't'': ''J.K. Rowling: A Bibliography 1997 - 2013'' isn't the latest book ''by'' J K Rowling - she had no part in the writing of the book and doesn't profit from it financially. It isn't, actually, ''about'' J K Rowling other than indirectly. It ''is'' a book about her writings, bibliographic details of each edition of ALL her books, pamphlets, and contributions to published works. It is ''not'' a book for the reader who loved the [[J K Rowling's Harry Potter Books in Chronological Order|Harry Potter books]] and wishes that Rowling had written many more, but rather the definitive text about the books which will be consulted by scholars, book dealers and collectors, auction houses and researchers. The most obvious comparison for me is [[Stamps of the World 2013 by Stanley Gibbons|Stamps of the World by Stanley Gibbons]]. It is of that class.

|title=Everyday Maths for Grown-Ups: Getting to Grips with the Basics
|rating=5
|genre=Reference
|summary=We all need maths - or so it says on the back of ''Everyday Maths for Grown Ups'' and whilst you could ''exist'' without a basic knowledge, life is going to be so much easier if you can check receipts, do the calculations for that spot of DIY or work out if the 'bargain' you've been offered really is one. Kjartan Poskitt reckons that very few people are really confident with figures, but hopes that he can offer some help.
