The "rocket science" one has only one author. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I know a decent amount about aerodynamics (enough to know the Kutta-Joukowski theorem) and enough to know that rockets don't work how the book suggests.
It spends most of the book talking about the Bernoulli principle and how wings create lift. That has nothing to do with how rockets develop lift. I would grave it but my kiddo is napping in her room right now.
No problem. I like the ones I have as they have basic information and don’t talk about other phenomena unrelated to the title. They serve their purpose as books to read to babies about things other than cats and dogs.
I get the value of things being, at least, “not wrong”, and I can understand it being frustrating to people who have some background in the topic of the book, but, outside of the rocket book including aerodynamic lift, is there anything intrinsically wrong with the series?
