Complicated Stuff in Simple Words

The illustrations were excellent, one reason I looked at the book. However, the terminology used was obtuse, inane and ridiculous to say the least. Rather than say this Saturn rocket and it's capsule plus the lunar module... It was like reading this thingy is connected to that thingy, both parts of the big gadget over there. Now don't forget the important watcha-ma-call-it that works with this long tube. I suspect if a parent is showing this to a child that unless he/she knows what the correct terminology is, they too would be lost any lessons learned would be minimal. I wish it were better.
