How do water, electricity, and the internet work? When were they built? And why?
If you’ve ever pondered these questions, you’ll love Hidden Systems!
Please continue reading below for several photos of the book and our honest thoughts.
About Hidden Systems
Hidden Systems is a graphic novel that takes the reader on a journey through some of our most essential systems – water, electricity, and the internet.
You’ll learn about Sumeria and how the city harnessed the flows of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers to irrigate their fields and grow their crops in the desert. You’ll learn about the Nile River and how it carried water and fertilizing silt to crops. You’ll learn about aqueducts, tea pumps, and so much more.
The book is written (and illustrated!) in a way that makes these complex topics easy to understand and digest!
It’s packed full of interesting facts!
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn about this topic.
Who is this Book for?
If you’ve ever wondered how these systems began so many years ago, and how they have become what you see now, this book is for you!
This book would be great for middle to high school students and adults!
It’s great for those who may not have any knowledge of these systems but it would also be great for those with some prior knowledge.
It is important to note that the book does mention climate change and the Big Bang, so you may want to omit those sections if they don’t align with your family’s beliefs.
Where Can I Purchase Hidden Systems?
Hidden Systems is available to purchase from Timberdoodle. You can purchase items separately or bundled together in curriculum kits.
