Incredible Cross-Sections. Mach3 cnc windows 10 reviews. I grew up with a couple of Stephen Biesty's 'Incredible Cross-Sections' books. I would sometimes spend all day examining the details of each page, trying to find jokes that I thought were lost to other kids. I think the world needs to see these images again. 20 Fun Facts from The Last Jedi Incredible Cross Sections - Duration: 4:35. Star Wars Explained 54,705 views. 4:35 (book flip) Geoff Kersey's Pocket Book for Watercolour Artists - Duration: 1:23. Incredible Cross-Sections: Man-Of-War was Biesty’s second book created in cooperation with writer Richard Platt, and my favorite of his by far. Then again, my own personal bias probably plays a part in that!

The beautiful, lavishly illustrated cross-sections in this book are spellbinding. They reawakened my childlike sense of wonderment & fascination with things BIG. Ocean liners, jumbo jets, earthmovers, castles, cathedrals.. the ocean liner is a four page fold out! It is a glorious thing to behold.
The section on off-shore oil rigs is quite eerie to read, in light of Deepwater Horizon. Everybody knows what a blowout preventer is now. The section on Empire State Building is likewise somewhat mo..more
Stephen Biesty is a very special author, but not quite the equal of David Macaulay. Oct 23, 2017Akiva rated it

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.
The copy I have is the 25th anniversary edition so the front cover is different. This book offers a cross-section of a number of different items including a coal mine, castle (my favourite cross-section), a space shuttle and a cathedral. Lots of details. The oceanliner runs over four pages, which shows the size of these ships.
I came across this book by chance and took it for a friend’s boy. I couldn’t resist going through it. It’s impressive. Highly amusing and educational. I have found out that there are several of these series and I hope they are famous among children because they are incredible indeed!.

This is my second Stephen Biesty Crpss Section. The first was Man-of-War Cross-Section, which was obviously about a British Man-of-War. In it, each set of facing pages was a full cross-section drawing of some aspect of, of course, the Man-of-War. I found it truly fascinating and was very interested in finding others like it. In this book, each set of two facing pages is on a different building or vehicle, except two: the ocean liner (Queen Mary) and the 1930's Steam Train, which..more

El libro es una maravilla. Reúne toda una colección de ilustraciones a doble página acerca de distintos edificios y vehículos (un castillo medieval, una catedral, un rascacielos, un submarino alemán de la IIGM, un trasatlántico, una estación de metro..) y los secciona para mostrar su interior.
Las secciones están magníficamente bien realizadas a partir de planos de corte limpios que permiten retirar piezas y mostrar el interior de las cosas. Así, podemos ver los cimientos de una catedral, sus pa..more

Incredible is not a misnomer. Stephen Beisty's amazing illustrations give you a fascinating look on how things work. From the inside of the tank, to the busy workings in the Opera House; from an ocean liner, to an ancient Castle. No detail (such as going to the loo) is too intimate to be left out. Accompanying the iluustrations are fun facts about each place, which are easy to read and understand, making for a great and enjoyable learning book.
Originally published in 1992, and still relevant to the curious kid in you. A good range of cross-sectioned things, with tons of side notes and explanations. My only complaint is that the pages, big as they are, are really very packed. Maybe a little too packed, and the designer in me wants an updated, clean, layout, haha. The illustrations are very 'Where's Waldo' which was a fun bit of nostalgia but might not such a treat for your (ok, my) aging eyes.
Not nearly as fascinating and re-readable as the Man O' War book, but then again, there's no gore, which is a plus or minus according to the reader taste. Much fainter memories of this book; I don't recall as many or as interesting of facts compared to Man O' War, but I'm suspicious my grade school aged self just liked the grossness of sea life hundreds of years ago.
An awesome book for kids, no matter how old you are. Aaron and I can spend hours together looking at the cross sections, especially of the ships. And yes, we do love looking for the obligatory 'dude on the toilet' Biesty seems to hide in each picture.
A fascinating look inside many things including a castle, cathedral, tank, subway, Empire State Building and the Space Shuttle. There is a lot of information on each page so smaller children may need help reading.

It was Christina's revisiting of childhood favorites that prompted me to revisit this totally amazing book. IT HOLDS UP.
Awesome Artwork, detailed drawings, interesting dive into details of life in castles, ships and cities
I was completely obsessed with this book as a child, and had forgotten about it until just now. I think I'll have to get a new copy :)
Nice without gimmicks or flaws! However, I thought that an improvement would be to make purposes clearer and more vivo and touch. I liked the brilliant style of this, it made me feel surprised!
