It reminds me a bit of a little kid's version of David Macauley's The Way Things Work - but not for gadgets - for entire jobs.<br /><br />It also serves as a form of introduction to the intricacies of a capitalist economy.<br /><br />Oh yes, and I just checked again out the exciting Top 100 list! <br /><br />I have mixed feeling when I see it: I feel sad when I see a book we haven't read or we do not own and happy when I see a book did read or own.<br /><br />Yet, I KNOW it should be the other way round.<br /><br />I should be happy to see excellent books that are still available for us to read! <br /><br />So, in the name of all the great books waiting to be read - thanks so much for the list!
