Whereas in the comparison book, human reason has been able to reach
things that are was previously impossible. On a long time ago, maybe
people would think it was impossible if humans can set foot on the
moon, but thanks advances in the field of Science and Technology in
mid-20th century, Apollo planes successfully land on the moon and
Neil Armstrong was the first to managed to set foot on the moon. The
world's rapid progress in the field of information and technology in the
last two decades has had an impact on human civilization is beyond the
reach of human thought previously. This influence is seen in the shift
in order social, economic and political that requires balance between
the values, thoughts and ways of life that applies to both global and
local contexts.

1. Judging from the aspect of the book's appearance, the main book is more
interesting than the comparison book. This is one of the advantages of the
main book because it looks more attractive to readers, but the main book is
the drawback in terms of the appearance of this slightly ancient book.
2. From the aspect of layout and layout as well as writing, including the use
of fonts from the two main books and comparisons, all are good and this is
one of the advantages of the two books, easy to read and the spacing is
pleasing to the eye so that readers do not get bored in reading both this
book.

12
3. From the aspect of the book content, it can be seen from the main book
that it is described clearly and in detail so as to provide broad knowledge
to the reader. Unlike the main book, it is not explained in its entirety,
indeed the explanation of its contents is clear, but not all of the material is
listed in this comparison book.
4. From the grammatical aspect, these two books are good and polite and use
words that are not difficult to understand and the use of EYD is also
correct.
