Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross Sections of Everything (Stephen Biesty Cross Sections)

First published 25 years ago, Stephen Biesty's Incredible Cross-Sections series has been updated for the silver anniversary, bringing delight to a whole new generation of fact addicts.

Step inside the detailed world of Stephen Biesty and find out how a wide variety of curious things are made, from tower blocks and underground tunnels; to the milk, chocolate, and donuts on your table; to matches, diamond rings, and sports shoes--not to mention race cars, planes, and rockets. The incredible illustrations will have children and adults alike poring over every detail, whether it's following the production line of a factory making anything from nails to newspapers or exploring the insides of a Boeing 777 plane or the Saturn V rocket. Taking you through every stage of each process is Chester the Tester, a character who helps explain how things are made, along with his sidekick Hector the Inspector.

This amazing book is also packed with unbelievable information: Did you know that dinosaur skeletons in museums are not real fossils? Or that the Boeing 777 has slam-proof toilet lids so the noise doesn't disturb passengers?

Clearly written with humor and fascinating facts to guide you through the intricate illustrations, this book is a glorious way to learn about the world around you.
