Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Absolutely the Best Cross-Section Book Ever is a unique and astounding collection of amazing views of the world in which we live by the talented artist, Stephen Biesty. Along with Richard Platt, who provides the narrative for the extraordinary artwork, Biesty takes the reader on an amazing journey to the very core of machines, buildings, ships and even the human body.

From the cockpit of a Formula 1 racing car to the inside of a movie studio, and from the depths of a medieval castle to the intricate innards of the human body, Biesty's stunning illustrations draw out the fine and complex details of each subject, allowing the reader to delve deep into the centre of different objects, examining how they work and the history behind them.

A clever idea executed to the highest of standards, Absolutely the Best Cross-Section Book Ever is an absolute must for the studious and the just plain curious. (Age 8 and over) --Sarah Taylor

Product Description
A collection of all the favourite Biesty titles: "Incredible Cross-Sections", "Incredible Explosions", "Man-of-War", "Castle", "Incredible Body", and "Incredible Everything", together with new illustrations, never seen before.

5.0 out of 5 stars informative and facinating book, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer
Oil rigs,Venice and plywood production are all dealt with in a very clear overview. This allows for the fuller understanding of the workings of the topics covered. The illustrations are particularly ingenious in the way different aspects of the subject are delt with in a differend x-section illustration eg for the Man-of-war health, battle stations, the officers etc.The book includes all biesty's previous books, the Body, Man-of-war, Castle and the World of Cross-section. My 5,8 and 12 year olds have all enjoyed this book and I have often given it very successfully as a gift: children love to pour over this book and learn a lot at the same time. The waekest link are the little 'people' used in the body section to try and explain its working. My experience was the children din't relate to them.
