Regarded as the first "English masterpiece written for children" [9] : 44 and as a founding book in the development of fantasy literature, its publication opened the "First Golden Age" of children's literature in Britain and Europe that continued until the early 1900s. Reviews of children's releases began appearing regularly in Publishers Weekly and in The Bookman magazine began to publish regular reviews of children's releases. Alexander Graham Bell used the light-sensitive property of selenium to transmit sound over a beam of light in 1880. Generally, artwork plays a greater role in books intended for younger readers (especially pre-literate children). Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials is an epic trilogy of fantasy novels consisting of Northern Lights (1995, published as The Golden Compass in North America), The Subtle Knife (1997), and The Amber Spyglass (2000).

A working solar cell, of low efficiency, was constructed by Charles Fritts in 1883, using a metal plate coated with selenium and a thin layer of gold; the device became commercially useful in photographic light meters in the 1930s. Furthermore, Maria and Richard Lovell Edgeworth's Practical Education: The History of Harry and Lucy (1780) urged children to teach themselves. China's first modern publishing firm, Commercial Press, established several children's magazines, which included Youth Magazine, and Educational Pictures for Children.Another philosopher who influenced the development of children's literature was Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who argued that children should be allowed to develop naturally and joyously. This results in an exchange of electrons and holes between the differently doped semiconducting materials. A semiconductor is a material that has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as copper, and an insulator, such as glass. Middle Eastern and Central American protagonists still remain underrepresented in North American picture books.

Such disruptions can occur as a result of a temperature difference or photons, which can enter the system and create electrons and holes.Drawing attention to the perception of housework as oppressive is one of the earliest forms of the feminist movement. Semiconductors with high thermal conductivity can be used for heat dissipation and improving thermal management of electronics. The conductivity of semiconductors may easily be modified by introducing impurities into their crystal lattice. Point-contact microwave detector rectifiers made of lead sulfide were used by Jagadish Chandra Bose in 1904; the cat's-whisker detector using natural galena or other materials became a common device in the development of radio. She wrote on a wide range of topics including education, natural history, fantasy, mystery, and biblical narratives and is best remembered today for her Noddy, The Famous Five, The Secret Seven, and The Adventure Series.

Between 1941 and 1961 there were 60 issues with stories about Biggles, [62] and in the 1960s occasional contributors included the BBC astronomer Patrick Moore.They may also study topics such as home use, children's out-of-school reading, or parents' use of children's books. Despite the widespread association of children's literature with picture books, spoken narratives existed before printing, and the root of many children's tales go back to ancient storytellers. One of the first uses of Chromolithography (a way of making multi-colored prints) in a children's book was demonstrated in Struwwelpeter, published in Germany in 1845. In that same year, Louise Seaman Bechtel became the first person to head a juvenile book publishing department in the country.
