Book Reviews of Cool Stuff Exploded
Book Review: Best of the Series
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an awesome book that shows the individual pieces of each gadget and explains briefly how it works. Very large and crisp pictures like all DK books. With the variety of gadgets and everyday objects, including future tech, this book will appeal to older readers as well as DK's usually young audience. There are many fold out pages that show 4 page spreads of "exploded" stuff.
The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars is because the CDROM, while it has cool animations of a few gadgets, it doesn't show all the gadgets. Besides watching the stuff "explode" the CDROM isn't interactive, and it doesn't label the parts. It's mostly a gimmick that looks impressive, but isn't very useful. Don't let that stop you from getting this great book, just don't expect much from the CDROM.
Summary of Cool Stuff Exploded
The third installment of our visually stunning and incredibly successful Cool Stuff series will blow your mind. This super cool technology book deconstructs-or literally explodes-everyday objects so readers can see exactly how they work. Beautifully photographed spreads show a piece-by-piece breakdown of cell phones, computers, cars, and more, detailing how each part works and how they all fit together as a whole. This unique look at the items we use every day brings science, technology, and wonder to the fore, giving us all a great appreciation for how our twenty-first-century world works. Set into the cover is a CD-ROM containing animations of the "exploded" views featured in the book.How Things Work Books
