Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections (DK… di Stephen Biesty
Detailed cross-sections show how things fit together and function. Good for both architecture and mechanics lovers.
This looks like an unusual book. First of all, it's enormous. Second of all, it manages to be a little gruesome even though it's cartoony. Even though it's a fictional story, it seems like the kind of thing a kid could use for a report on ancient Rome. There's a whole section of historical notes and a bibliography in the back.
Esta obra envolvente, ilustrada, permite viajar no tempo e conhecer as vidas e descobertas dos grandes inventores a partir de uma abordagem nunca vista, desde o famoso grito de Arquimedes até os incríveis avanços atuais da Medicina e Tecnologia, como a internet e os exames de DNA.
I was so very obsessed with this book as a kid. Oddly, one of the parts I remember most vividly was checking out what all the little people were doing. And the soldier whose intestines were hanging out in the tank cross section, of course. Biesty really knows how to appeal to kids.
I'd love to reread this as an adult.
