2) Go to Encyclopedia Online at http://librery.spu.ac.th Search for the history of automobiles or computer. Summarize the information you get.
  • The history of the automobile did not just begin with Henry Ford and the Model T, as you may believe. In fact, Henry Ford is not even regarded as the inventor of the modern automobile. A German engineer, Carl Benz, is generally considered the inventor of modern automobiles, although his invention used engines and other parts invented by numerous others who were working on the concept at the same time. The automobile was not the creation of a single inventor; the path to the modern automobile actually begins centuries ago in theoretical drawings by Leonardo Da Vinci, Isaac Newton, and their contemporaries.
    The first vehicles capable of carrying people were actually steam-powered, and in existence by the beginning of the nineteenth century. It is during this era that hand brakes, transmissions, and steering mechanisms, among other automobile components, were developed. Most of these developments came in the UK, but in response to worries about dangerously high speeds, an 1865 act required such vehicles to be preceded by a man on foot with a flag and a horn. This effectively curtailed automobile development there for several decades.
3) What is the difference between general book and reference book?
  • Reference Book in a library is one that may only be used in the library and not borrowed from the library. Many such books are reference works (in the first sense) which are usually used only briefly or photocopied from, and therefore do not need to be borrowed. Keeping them in the library assures that they will always be available for use on demand. Other reference-only books are ones that are too valuable to permit borrowers to take them out. Reference-only items may be shelved in a reference collection located separately from circulating items or individual reference-only items may be shelved among items available for borrowing.
