With a cleverly die-cut case and gorgeously detailed photography, Cut in Half is a fascinating and accessible popular science look at the extraordinary in the everyday. - Entertaining photo-driven pop science book for curious minds - Cross section views of household appliances, sports equipment, electronics, toys and games, and more Fans of The Way Things Work, The Book of Hidden Things, and Things Come Apart will love this book.
